The "2025 Island Celosia Festival," hosted by Sinan County, South Jeolla Province, from September 27 in the Byeongpungdo area of Jungdo-myeon, concluded successfully with visitors from all over the country.

According to the county on October 15, this year's festival, held under the theme "Harmony of Island, Sea, and Flowers," received an enthusiastic response as visitors from the Seoul metropolitan area and across the nation enjoyed the autumn atmosphere of Byeongpungdo.

During the festival, the Celosia Garden on Byeongpungdo was transformed into a breathtaking spectacle with vibrant hues of red, yellow, and purple. In particular, the 1.3-kilometer section of the Twelve Apostles Pilgrimage Trail-known as the "Santiago of Korea"-and Byeongpung Rock created a fantastic landscape as they blended with the flowers.

To ensure convenience for visitors, the county operated shuttle buses and supported maritime transportation between Jido-eup Jiseongaen Ferry Terminal and Aphae-eup Song Port, minimizing travel inconvenience.

A county official stated, "We hope the celosia flowers that adorned Byeongpungdo under the clear autumn sky have left visitors with warm memories," adding, "We will continue to host unique festivals that showcase the harmony of nature and art, characteristic of Sinan."

Meanwhile, through this festival, the county not only revitalized the local economy but also strengthened its brand image as the "Island of Flowers and Art," laying the groundwork for becoming a world-class flower festival.
