World-renowned actress Gong Li, as well as famous actor Aaron Kwok and Feng Shaofeng, all made an appearance at the promotion event.

This action fantasy film is a 3D sequel to the 2014 box office hit.

Like the first installment, it is adapted from novel 'Journey to the West' by Wu Cheng'en, one of China's four literary classics.

Feng Shaofeng plays Tang Sanzang, a monk with a sense of humor, in the film. He is the master of three apprentices, and also a character that would be induced by enchantress.

Hong Kong singer and actor Aaron Kwok takes the role with enormous pressure, as the Monkey King.

'The Monkey King 2' also stars Chung Him Law and Xiao Shenyan.

The first installment of the franchise claimed 152 million US dollars at the box office, but this sequel with a brand new cast will offer a different story.

'The Monkey King 2'in 3D will hit big screens in China on February 8th, the first day of China's Spring Festival holiday.
