I'm posting early this week because I've missed a couple of weeks of learning about Korea.
N Seoul Tower is a communication and observation tower located in Namsan Mountain, in central Seoul, South Korea. Built in 1969, and opened to the public in 1980, the tower has been a symbol of Seoul and measures 777 feet in height (from the base) and tops out at 1,574 feet above sea level.
Couples come here with padlocks, put them on a section of the fence or one of the Love Trees and profess their eternal love for one another. After securing the lock, the key gets thrown over the side rail to symbolize that love. Adoptive couples now come as a sign of their love and committment to their children of Korea.
The idea of hanging locks originated from local tourists a few years ago who saw the same thing at Tokyo Tower.
We DEFINITELY plan on doing this!
