The Journey Begins
"Journey to the West" is an epic tale that stems from a collection of Chinese folktales titled "China Mythology Stories 100."

Sun Wukong's power eventually catches the attention of Buddha himself who sends him down to Earth as punishment. During his time on Earth, he meets Zhu Bajie—the half-human-half-pig demon—who is seeking redemption for his past misdeeds by joining forces with Tang Sanzang on his quest.
Taming Chaos
As they embark on their perilous journey westward towards India in search of sacred scriptures—the Buddhist sutras—each character faces numerous challenges both physical and spiritual. Alongside them stands Sand Monk—a loyal protector with supernatural strength who serves as Tang Sanzang's guardian angel.
