Are there any mythical beasts meant to be alive in China today?

Question

Does China have its own bigfoot, loch mess monster etc etc etc.

Answer 1

I suppose the Kirin might count. It is a creature that appears to be a giraffe with a short neck. Supposedly it only appears when an empire is about to fall.

There are also the four beasts that guard the four cardinal points of the compass and the Chinese dragons.

Answer 3

You mean urban legend?...well, China has developed ghost culture, all kinds of ghost hold grudge wandering around us.

Oh and, animals play an  important role in Chinese mythology, especially fox, it is said they can lure men by pretending beautiful women or young boys in order to eat their hearts, or fox can marry with human, if you see it rains on a sunny day, it means the fox is holding a wedding. And fox is actually a affectionate animal, they will kill themselves if their beloved partners die.

Another animal is snake, they can marry human too.

And skeleton women, they died, their flesh decayed only skeleton left, but the skeleton can still walk around, they have a human skin to cover them up.

And dolls, anything is over 100 year old can be resided by ghosts, especially human shaped stuff, like doll.

many many other stories.
