The roof and walls of every building were painted at least three different colours, and the town's bridges and benches got the same colourful treatment.
Some walls have also been decorated with 3D murals which are Instagrammable AF.

The transformation was planned with the hope that the town would become a new tourist attraction for the area.

And oh boy, it's worked. The influx of tourists has truly helped the local economy, as residents are able to sell them food and souvenirs.
The town was once considered a slum, but this colourful makeover has transformed it into a clean and lovely place to live, according to Lonely Planet.

The local residents were all enouraged to get involved with the design and painting of the buildings.
