The Buddhist monk Xuan Zang (Feng Shao Feng) is on a mission to find a cache of sacred scriptures. With him travel the Monkey King (Aaron Kwok), as well as a pig demon named Ba Jie (Xiao Shen Yang) and a sand demon. The companions travel by boat along a river and unexpectedly find themselves in a realm called the Womanland of Western Liang. Like the Amazons, this is a nation inhabited only by women. The natives are taught to think of men as tricksters and deceptive individuals. The group is taken captive.

But the nation’s Queen (Zhao Li Ying) has other plans for them. She knows of a prophecy that dictates that her marriage could have enormously beneficial results. She thinks that a union with Xuan Zang could help her in this regard, so refuses to let the travelers leave. But this has all angered a powerful river deity, which decides to exact its revenge on the women – and the companions. Could love save the day – or cause the realm’s ultimate downfall?

This movie was based on the classic 16th-century novel “Journey to the West,” which is attributed to Wu Cheng En.
