Your Name & One Piece Among Others: Taiwan’s Must-Visit Anime Mural Alley

Text / Compiled and reported by MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

With Your Name breaking the billion-yuan box office mark and becoming a new animation hit, many filming locations have also gained popularity, turning into popular photo spots. Meanwhile, an anime mural alley in Taichung has become an alternative Your Name-related destination. In recent years, community murals have become popular in Taiwan. To revitalize old villages, creative space designs and murals showcase the rich ingenuity of Taiwanese people, with a wide variety of themes. The Taichung mural alley introduced by Scenic Spots this time is, as the name suggests, a cartoon and anime-themed mural alley. Creating large-scale murals is already challenging, but portraying anime characters with fine detail is even more difficult. However, thanks to its realistic art style and meticulous details, it has attracted large crowds for pilgrimages and photos, making it an alternative must-visit spot in Taichung.
