Journey to the West is a Chinese television series adapted from the novel of the same title. Production for the 66 episodes long series started on 12 September 2009, and it was first broadcast in mainland China on 28 July 2011 on TVS. The series was produced by Zhang Jizhong and was released a year later than another television series of the same title (broadcast on Zhejiang Satellite TV), but with a different cast and crew.
The lyrics of the opening theme song, performed by Yang Xiaolin, are taken from the mantra of the Buddhist scripture Heart Sutra. The ending theme song, sung by Dao Lang, is a remixed version of the 1986 television series Journey to the West's theme song, which was originally performed by Jiang Dawei.
