 Leifeng Pagoda in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang province, was originally constructed in AD 975. The pagoda collapsed in 1924 but was rebuilt in 2002. It became a household name in China thanks to the popular folk tale, "The Legend of the White Snake", a touching love story about a girl who changed into a snake and a young man. The story has been repeatedly adapted for traditional operas and also for modern movies and a TV series. [Photo/VCG]
