N
Seoul Tower, Seoul, South Korea
Seven
artificial “love
trees” were put on the terraces of this tower in Seoul by the
tower’s operators. Those artificial trees are capable of holding great weight,
especially designed with the padlocks weight on mind. The tower’s operators
also provided a “key bin” for the keys, so those won’t be thrown from the
tower. The regular fences were also replaced by glass fences so that padlocks
couldn’t be locked on the fence itself.
