Summary:

Wukong (played by Chen Xinzhe) fought against Tathagata, and Tathagata took Wukong under the Five Elements Mountain with one palm, and photographed the 500-year time gap in Journey to the West. For the past 500 years, Wukong has been waiting for the arrival of the Buddhist monk Tang Seng (played by Chi Chongrui). Taibai Jinxing brought him a Yuanshen bead, claiming that as long as the bead was sent to Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai, he could regain his freedom. Wukong was ordered to go out of the mountain in order to be free. Along the way, he and the curious and brave Tianwei (played by Dong Jiuhe) rescued the intellectual and innocent Huayin Fairy (played by Fu Mengni). The three have gone through hardships and find their heart all the way. They encountered A Cui (played by Zhang Xiyuan) who is married to Zhu Bajie (played by Li Yaoxiang), a rolling shutter general who was demoted to harm one side, and the demon king Shiyuan who covets the Yuanshen bead. How does Wukong, Bajie, and Wujing, team up to fight the demon? Will the demon king Shiyuan's dream of seizing the Yuanshen bead to dominate the world come true? Watch the legend of master and apprentice come out of the mountain, and explore the five hundred years of Journey to the West that disappeared!

Ausflug zu den Marble Mountains. Die Marble Mountains liegen auf halber Höhe zwischen Da Nang und Hoi an und bestehen aus Kalkstein und Marmor (=marble). Es sind insgesamt fünf Felsen mit bis zu 100 Meter Höhe. Nach einem Anstieg von unzähligen Stufen belohnt einen der tolle Ausblick. Das wirkliche Highlight sind allerdings die Höhlen, in denen buddhistische und hinduistische Altare und Statuen zu finden sind. Absolut umwerfend ist die größte Tempelhöhle, die Huyen Khong: hoch wie eine deutsche Kathedrale und mit genauso gewölbter Decke, in der durch drei große Löcher (angeblich von US-Bombern hineingeschossen) fahles Sonnenlicht in die dünne Höhlenluft fällt.

In einer anderen Höhle musste durch einen sehr dünnen Felsenspalt geklettert werden, um auf die nächste Aussichtsplatform zu kommen. Unser bislang steilster Kletterweg.
