In Guangzhou (Canton), Guangdong Province, tucked away in the huge
Yuexiu Park, there is a gigantic walk through attraction themed around
The Journey to the West.
In multiple buildings your path winds through the adventures of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, and his companions. They are portrayed full size and often animatronically. There are funny sections and very scary sections.
In some cases I cannot identify some of the scenes or characters. I have not read all of the story. Please help me identify what is going on in each scene.
