Located in Xuejia, Tainan, the Old Pond Lake Art Village boasts a quaint and elegant 1950s rural vibe, blending elements such as faux antique red buildings, Minnan-style architecture, and Mongolian steppe themes, making it a great weekend getaway.

Every brick, tile, blade of grass, and tree in Old Pond Lake Art Village was personally built by abstract painter “Kuang Yi.”

Covering an area of about 3 hectares, Kuang Yi spent over 10 years collecting old building materials from demolished traditional houses around the region to construct this art village filled with early Republican-era charm.

The finger-style abstract painter infused his artistic essence into the classic Chinese pavilions and towers, complemented by the scenic beauty of the pond outside, creating a scene that feels like stepping into a time tunnel — the view is so stunning it’s hard to leave.
