Purple Island

The local farming community of the island have transformed their little island into South Korea’s perfect destination that every Instagrammer wants to visit! Everything you can think of is purple on these two islands. From roads to market places, telephone booths to shops, and even residential houses are painted purple. Even the fields are purple with plants like kohlrabi and beets that blend in with the whole purple theme. The local government has also planted large fields of New England asters and around 40,000 lavenders that are once again on point with the overall island colors, i.e. purple! There are thousands of empress trees that add on to the purple theme of the picture-perfect island. 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.
