If you are about to go around South Jeolla Province, this charming island is definitely a sight to behold. In August 2019, the South Jeolla provincial government and Sinan County planned to transform two neighbouring islands, Banwol Island and Parkji Island into purple islands complete with beautiful flowers and crops in matching colours. The whole initiative took inspiration from the local purple bellflowers (or campanula). These islands are connected via a bridge, which makes a great opportunity for visitors to appreciate the scenic seasca9pe too. The county had planted 40,000 lavender around the island as well as white cedar, empress trees and other purple flowers for this transformation. Overall, the village on Banwol Island certainly lives up to its aesthetics. Take a walk to spot residential homes, bridges, streets, food trucks, sidewalks all painted in purple. Banwol Island came to be known as the Purple Island after the roofs of some 400 buildings were painted ina alovely shade of lilac. It’s a new and trending destination in South Korea since its inauguration in the summer of 2020 by the Sinan government. Since then, the place has seen a 20% increase in the number of visitors from the previous year. Music : Makvard - Feel my love Daloka - Summer Vibes
