Huangshan, China

This is where we think the ancient custom of “locking Your Love” originated hundreds of years ago. The Huangshan mountain is regarded as the most romantic . It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and sites high about pine forests and often above the clouds. Padlocks have been attached at many places along the mountainous trails, some parts very dangerous. According to the legend you could go all they way up the mountain and lock a padlock then toss your keys into the abyss, symbolizing your unbreakable bond.

Ancient Love Padlock Custom

Ponte de l’Archevêché, Paris

For years people have been putting padlocks on the internationally renowned “Love Bridge”. The bridge goes over the Seine river just behind Notre-Dame Cathedral so it is on a popular tourist route. In 2010 the city removed all the love locks in one fell swoop but they quickly began appearing again. Many of those locks that returned were dated with the original year the couple first came, so it is rumored that they now leave the locks due to the potential of repeat tourism.
