Tourists toss coins at ruins of Leifeng Pagoda

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]
