[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Seunghyun] Jeonnam Sinan-gun announced on the 14th that it will partially expand the categories of free admission to Purple Island located on Anjwa-do.


Currently, admission to Purple Island is paid, but visitors wearing purple clothing, shoes, umbrellas, etc. were allowed free entry.


The newly recognized free admission criteria by the county define the following: one companion entering with a pet dressed in purple clothing, groups of two or more tourists wearing matching purple accessories such as socks, scarves, or glasses, people whose registered name includes the word "Bora" (purple), and those who have dyed their hair purple or are wearing purple wigs.



Recently selected as a UN Best Tourism Village and awarded the Korea Tourism Star Grand Prize, Purple Island has received praise both domestically and internationally. To create special memories for visitors, the county has relaxed the admission fee reduction criteria and expanded the categories eligible for discounts.
