Jenny Explains Love Lock Tradition on the Great Wall of China -- Yujong Pass

Locks of love are the padlocks fixed by loving couples, on to a fence or a pole or metallic chain/string alongside some wall etc at a public place, to symbolize their eternal love. A couple would hang a padlock after inscribing their name or initials on it and throw the key away so that their love is locked forever. Besides lovers, often family members and close friends also put such locks at these places, to lock their relationship forever.

The tradition probably originated from China where the love locks can be seen at several locations alongside the Great Wall of China.

I knew about the one in Cologne, Germany already but it's fascinating to know they do this in China too! I would love to know when the both of these traditions started. It really is a beautiful tradition.
