The Monkey King (Sun Wukong) slid down the ski track, wielding his golden cudgel. After a gust of snowflakes rose and dissipated, Tang Monk, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing followed suit, striking a pose one after another. At a ski resort in Liaoning, winter sports lovers encountered the “Tang Monk and his three disciples” from the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, exclaiming, “They are skiing on their way to search for Buddhist scriptures.”

A video titled “Skiers Dressing up as Journey to the West Quartet” recently went viral on the Douyin app. The shooter of the video is Coach Bu from the Shenyang Guaipo International Ski Resort. Inspired by Journey to the West, he collected the costumes of “Tang Monk and his three disciples” and shot the short video that combines creativity and humor with traditional Chinese cultural elements. “We hope that after watching this video, everyone can have fun in Shenyang’s winter and enjoy the thrill of skiing,” said Coach Bu.
