Political graffiti is one kind of graffiti with the content-based political figure, you can see the political consciousness from the graffiti painted, and most of these are ironic paintings, they are the most common type of political graffiti in Taipei County.



I was attracted to the vicinity of wall of graffiti, unknowingly walked into that patch of graffiti street. Some paintings are very abstract and exaggerate, passer-by would not scare in the evening?



I was walking while seeing, and felt that the graffiti street is really a large place.There are also some realistic images.Once standardized, there is a sort of artistic atmosphere even in the ordinary street in Hsimenting. Graffiti can also express with sketch style. But sometimes, thick and heavy in colours is also very funny.

Of course, most content of the graffiti has no particular meaning, just with painting.



I believe those who paint graffiti also want to bring delight to people who visit here.
