Shinan Treasure Island's Dream

The story of underwater relics found after being wrecked in the sea off Shinan 8 years ago

Bird Nest & Swing

Five photo zones resembling a bird nest where you can take the best pictures of your life, swings hanging from coconut trees, swings installed on the beach that can be submerged in seawater according to high tide and low tide, and the ash tree swing in the center of the garden will leave you with the best memories of Purple Island.

European Central Garden

Purple Box is an independent facility on an island named Dando, which has a 360-degree panoramic ocean view and outdoor garden facilities that look like as if they are floating in the sea.

More than 50 kinds of plants are planted in the form of container gardens, and it is possible to witness flowers and green leaves throughout the four seasons. There is also a vegetable garden that grows ornamental vegetables such as gourds, luffas, eggplants, pumpkins, cucumbers, and peppers by season

- Precautions -

While using the central garden facility, please enjoy various trees, flowers, and garden plants only with your eyes. If you touch them, they wither in a faster speed.

In addition, birds’ nests are located on the cut slope of the beach, which is about 2 meters high, so please pay special attention to safety when using. In particular, only one person at a time should use the bird's nest. 


In the case of several people climbing the nest at the same time, special attention is necessary considering the possibility of damages due to the load and the resulting safety risks.
