As a kid, I loved the version of *Journey to the West* with Liu Xiao Ling Tong. Little boys would even buy Monkey King staff toys to play with. Because the character was so vivid, he became a memory for generation after generation.
Nestled under green mountains and dense forests, this land has been quietly beautiful under blue skies and white clouds.The banner of"Great Sage Equal to Heaven"
hangs high, fluttering in the wind like a graceful dancing maiden.This tranquil scenic area not only boasts serene natural beauty but also features tons of *Journey to the West*-themed elements. First up must be the protagonist from the novel:the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, the Monkey King.
Fresh off causing havoc in Heaven,
he's now being pressed under the Five Elements Mountain by the Buddha.
