Penang Love Bridge

Seal your love! Possibly inspired by the European tradition of putting a padlock and throwing the key into a River Seine below, this site on Penang Hill carries forward a pioneering tradition and that is of a busy French bridge in Paris, which has now discontinued for security and aesthetic reasons. Metal grilles on a walk way above the Cliff Cafe, better known as the Astaka Food and Beverage Center, hold thousands of padlocks. The walk way has a wooden bench for you to spend time contemplating what wish to make. What’s more, this Penang Hill landmark makes the experience dramatic with a large metal-and-concrete cut-out of the letters LOVE! Covered in astroturf greens against a pink background of the love locks and protected by a barrier, LOVE is the first thing you’d notice as you step on the promenade.
So, buy that padlock, find a secure spot, make a wish alongside your beloved, seal it on the waist-high grille, throw the key into the valley below and capture each moment as you do so! The love bridge makes for an ideal selfie opportunity for couples. Professional photographers too line up the site, in case you want a portfolio or a single photo to capture memories.
