Rainbow Village is a former veterans’ village that has been repainted with an endless series of murals and street art. The project was kicked off by a local who felt that his neighborhood needed a bit of color, and the results are simply breathtaking. Tourists flock to the neighborhood during the weekend so best to visit during the week for a bit of quiet and open space for photos.
7. Xinshe Sea of Flowers
Botanical Garden

Xinshe Sea of Flowers is the city’s botanical garden, a wide expanse that is covered in flowers. It is only a short bus ride outside the city and you only need half a day to see the whole thing, but for flower lovers and photographers, this place is a must. This is another attraction that is best visited on weekdays to avoid the crowds.
