Journey to the West is a Chinese television series adapted from the classical novel of the same title. The series was first broadcast on CCTV in China on 1 October 1986. The series became an instant classic in China and is still being praised as the best and most authentic interpretation of the novel. Unadapted portions of the original story were later covered in the second season, which was released in 1999.
The show follows the epic journey of the monk Tang Sanzang and his three disciples-Sun Wukong (the Monkey King), Zhu Bajie (Pigsy), and Sha Wujing (Sandy)-as they travel westward in search of Buddhist scriptures.
