4. Huashan Love Lock

Some sections of Mount Huashan's safety chains are covered in layers of padlocks. In order to ensure happy-golden-lucky fortune, Chinese tradition requires that you buy a lock, enscribe it with your name, lock it to a safety chain on the mountain, and then throw the key to the lock over a cliff while making a wish. Kelsi and I decided to try out the tradition, and it has been smooth sailing ever since.
