[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do, will hold the 'Into the Purple Fragrance' Purple Island Aster Flower Online Festival on Banwol and Bakji Islands from the 8th to the 31st.

According to the county on the 6th, the first-ever Purple Island Aster Flower Festival will plant 500,000 flowers along the roadside and in the aster garden, allowing visitors to circle the island and fully enjoy the scent of flowers and the charm of autumn amidst the purple blossoms.

Purple Island refers to Banwol and Bakji Islands in Anjwa-myeon, which were selected in 2015 for the Jeollanam-do "Island You Want to Visit" development project. The pedestrian bridge used by island residents was refurbished and repainted in a captivating purple color, reborn as the Purple Bridge. The roofs and window frames of buildings, as well as the utensils used by residents, were all changed to purple.

Additionally, purple-flowering trees and plants such as lavender, lilac, hollyhock, verbenas, and asters were planted throughout the island, transforming it into a unique and beautiful landscape filled with purple flowers from spring to autumn.

In particular, to prevent COVID-19 spread and avoid a sudden influx of tourists, the festival will be held over 23 days, and strengthened quarantine rules will be applied during the festival period to limit the number of visitors for a safe festival.

County Governor Park Woo-ryang urged, "Ahead of the With-Corona era, please comply with quarantine rules such as wearing masks and social distancing during your visit to prevent any confirmed cases."
