The painted walls at art villages have become popular spots for visitors to take photos and check in. Now, beyond the standard painted murals, the Hujiayi Painted Village in Shanhua, Tainan, has taken creativity to the next level by upgrading its painted walls into a one-of-a-kind mahjong wall. It has instantly become an internet-famous spot for check-ins and also attracted travelers of all ages who share a connection with the game of mahjong.

The Hujiayi Painted Village in Tainan’s Shanhua District was born from the idea of helping seniors combat loneliness. After revitalizing multiple walls around the village, it provided clean surfaces of all sizes for the whole community to co-create. This allows young people to spend time with the elderly and bring vibrancy to the neighborhood. This concept turned the Hujiayi area into what locals call a “painted village,” attracting many visitors eager to see the colorful displays.

Now, they’ve taken this idea even further by covering two village walls with rectangular mahjong tiles. Using a mosaic technique, they arranged the universally loved game into two walls featuring mahjong terminology such as “East, South, West, North, Big Four, Red Dragon, etc.” This creative project and its thoughtful design carry deep meaning. It embodies the village’s original philosophy and uses color and composition to achieve its vision. It brings the community together to complete the artwork collectively.
