Locks and love aren’t exactly synonymous. Love after all, was supposed
to set you free. But at the N Seoul Tower in Namsan Park, South Korea,
you’ll find thousands and thousands of locks symbolizing the love
between couples. Unearthing Asia takes a peek behind this unusual tradition that has seen tourists both locals and internationals alike flock the site.

With a spectacular night view of Seoul and a wide range of restaurants, the N Seoul Tower (simplified
as just Seoul Tower) is emerging as a hot spot for a growing number of
romantics, both young and old. Located in central Seoul in the middle of
Namsan Park, the tower reaches 480 meters above sea level, allowing a
luxurious view of the entire city and the surrounding areas.
During the weekend, the tower is almost always full with visitors,
both locals and tourists alike. Most visitors ride the Namsan cable car
up the mountain, and then hike up to the tower. As I made my way up
towards the base of the tower.
