Even in January, when white snow falls, there is a special island that captivates with its vibrant purple charm.

Located in Anjwa-myeon, Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do, Banwol and Bakji Islands are famous for their all-purple facilities, from rooftops to bridges and even telephone booths, earning them the nickname 'Purple Island.'

Experience a unique escape from everyday life amidst the surreal scenery where the cold winter sea meets vivid purple hues.

Purple Sea Walkway

The iconic Purple Bridge of Banwol and Bakji Islands is a massive wooden bridge that connects Anjwa-do, Bakji-do, and Banwol-do, stretching 1.4 km in total length.

This bridge, painted entirely in purple, gives you the feeling of stepping into a fairy tale as you walk over the blue sea.

Under the clear January sky, the long purple bridge, with its blend of straight lines and curves, becomes a perfect photo spot.

Sitting in the resting area midway across the bridge, feeling the winter sea breeze while gazing at the horizon offers a refreshing sense of liberation.

The Entire Village as a Color Set

As you enter Bakji-do and Banwol-do, you will encounter a unified sight of purple roofs, roads, cafes, and even the dishes in the village restaurants.

This intense color harmony transcends artificiality, resembling a work of art and enhancing the quality of your photos.

The striking purple amidst the monochrome of winter provides visual delight and invigorating energy.

Taking a leisurely stroll along the village alleys, you will find purple telephone booths and benches, perfect spots for capturing emotional snapshots.

A Dress Code for Free Entry

This place hosts a unique event that waives the entrance fee for visitors wearing purple clothing, shoes, or hats.

Many visitors come dressed in purple outfits or accessories, creating a joyful atmosphere reminiscent of a massive costume party across the island.

Coordinating dress codes with friends while exploring the island adds a fun element to your trip.

Even if you don’t have purple items, you can rent or purchase purple accessories at the entrance, making it easy for anyone to join in on this unique travel experience.

Purple Sculptures

Throughout the island, the phrase 'I PURPLE YOU' and purple sculptures provide new sights with every step you take.

A sculpture of the Little Prince, located on Banwol-do, depicts him sitting on the moon, gazing at Bakji-do, adding a romantic touch.

As the cold January sunset begins to paint the sky behind the sculptures, the purple structures take on deeper hues, creating a stunning spectacle.
