Meet the magical and endearing Monkey King as you explore a classic Chinese
story, “A Journey to the West.” A favorite in China for hundreds of years,
children have learned this story from their grandparents, read it in books
and watched Monkey’s antics on television and film. His popularity has made
him the star of opera stages and video games. |

Visitors will have the chance to
join the mischievous and brave Monkey King on his magical journey to a
far-away land—a journey that finds him creating havoc in the Heavenly
Palace, meeting Buddha and overcoming numerous challenges.
You’ll discover
much about China’s rich culture along the way!
