The Wonosari village in Semarang is in Central Java but has been making headlines all over the world. Now nicknamed the 'rainbow village', the houses all belong to low-income families who decided they wanted to give the gloomy walls a colourful makeover.

The government helped fund the transformation and it's given the local economy a big boost with plenty of visitors coming to take snaps for social media. There are plans to extend the social project to all the houses in the village.
