The Journey to the West attraction in Guangzhou
Page 4 of 8
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.

The Dragon King
This fountain is in front of the throne
One of the dragons coiled around a column.
The Dragon King's throne. Periodically the fountain spouts higher, the Dragon King's eyes light up, he raises the pearl that he is holding and asks "Exhalted Immortal, when did you find the Way, and what magic arts did you acquire?" (At least that is what he says in the book. He is speaking Chinese in the attraction of course.)
