A 4-meter-tall kite featuring a traditional
Chinese love story "Legend of White Snake" flies over West Lake in
Hangzhou, east China's Zhejiang Province December 18, 2005. The lake is
the place where the love story is supposed to have happened. A local old
man spent 3 months making the huge kite. The legendary romance goes
like this: The white snake, the heroine of the story, is a succubus
who transmutes into a beautiful young lady and comes to live among human
beings with her sister the green snake. The white snake meets Xu Xian, the
hero of the story, on the West Lake and falls in love with him. Their
love weathers the test of many hardships and obstructs before they
get the heaven moved. In the story, they reunite at the same place - the
Broken Bridge - several times after they get separated.
