			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are two Chinese classic stories telling about star-crossed lovers.</p>
<p>The Both stories tell of star-crossed lovers. In &#8220;The White Serpent&#8221;, a young man falls in love with a beautiful girl and marries her but, unbeknown to him, she hides a dark secret &#8211; she is actually a huge white serpent disguised by a magic spell. The two lovers are then split asunder when a local monk betrays her secret.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Butterfly Lovers&#8221; has often been compared to the tale of Romeo and Juliet, except with a considerably greater degree of cross-dressing. Here a young woman disguises herself as a boy in order to secure an education. She spends three years sharing a room with a male classmate who never guesses her secret. She, however, falls in love with him.</p>
<p>When the truth is finally out, the two decide to marry, but their happiness is short-lived. The girl&#8217;s father insists she marry another and the young man dies of a broken heart. The two are ultimately united when the girl visits her dead lover&#8217;s tomb on her wedding day and the couple are transformed into a pair of butterflies.</p>
<p><span id="more-6"></span><br />
From the point view of modern people, these stories seem so unreal but What sad and beautiful stories! These reflect Chinese culture.<br />
In China, there are a lot of top attractions reflect Chinese sad but beautiful cultures. I list one attraction for reference.</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft" style="float: left;" title="Hangzhou west lake" src="http://www.upassoc.org/upa_publications/upa_voice/volumes/2006/august/images/westlake_hangzhou_2.jpg" alt="West Lake in Hangzhou" width="405" height="254" />Hangzhou west lake<br />
West Lake, the most noted symbol of historic Hangzhou, is surrounded by mountains in three directions and houses many places of interest in and around the lake area. Not only renowned for its picturesque landscape, it also embraces many stories, poetical praise and cherished Chinese traditional treasures including </strong><strong>architecture, stone carvings and engraved tablets. </strong></p>
