ตำนานเล่าขานของทะเลสาบซีหู (Xihu Lake)

The West Lake (Xihu Lake) is located in Hangzhou, China. There is a legend that tells the story of the immortal love between the white snake queen "Bai Suzhen" and the young scholar "Xiao Xian". This legend is widely known and has been made into many movies and stage plays.

A white snake practiced asceticism until he could transform into a beautiful woman named Bai Suzhen. Bai Suzhen fell in love with the handsome scholar Xiao Xian at the West Lake. Their love was thwarted by the Chinese monk Fa Hai, who believed that the relationship between humans and demons was wrong. The Chinese monk Fa Hai used his power to imprison Bai Suzhen in the Leifeng Pagoda. Bai Suzhen's son practiced asceticism until he reached enlightenment and helped Bai Suzhen free from the pagoda.
