Another captivating narrative is "The White Snake." This legend tells the story of Xue Lian (also known as Bai Suzhen), who takes on human form after drinking magical water from a peach tree spring located within her lair under Dragon Gate Bridge near Qingyuan Prefecture (now part of Guangdong Province).

Yet another fascinating account is "The Monkey King," also known as Sun Wukong or Hanuman in Hindu mythology. His exploits are immortalized in Wu Cheng'en's classic novel Journey to the West.
