1. Lovers Lock Marker
Welcome to Lovelock, where friends, family and lovers come to forever lock their customs symbolically locking one's love on a never-ending chain. It is said that love will endure as long as the lock remains on the chain.
No one knows how or when the custom began, but the lock-laden chains common in the Yellow Mountains and at the Great Wall of China have begun to appear elsewhere in the world. Thousands of simple metal locks adorn chains and fences, placed with care by people wishing to symbolize their enduring love. Fasten a lock on the chain and throw away the key, thus uniting your love for eternity.
