Have you heard of South Korea's Purple Islands?

Welcome to South Korea's Purple Islands.

Inspired by the native balloon flower, residents of the Banwol and Bakji Islands, known as the 'Purple Islands', in southwest Korea have transformed their towns into a tourist attraction.

Almost everything on these two islands is purple, from roofs of houses to roads and bridges, even to rice in restaurants.

Home to 100 residents, the Purple Islands have become a tourist sport, attracting nearly half a million visitors including K-pop band BTS member Kim Tae-hyung - also known as V.

Guests dressed in purple are allowed free entry. At night tourists can also enjoy a purple sunset. — Reuters
