Answer

I think you are right. Unfortunately, Hong Kong seems to be the most famous, even at representing mainland culture such as Peking Opera. It is very unfortunate. And although 西遊記 is very popular as a story, it is through its adaptations into Korean and Japanese television dramas, Dragon Ball, and even the Hong Kong/American movie "The Forbidden Kingdom." Most people wouldn't know the name Sun Wukong--but they know some version of the story.

It's very sad that we aren't exposed to more culture of mainland China. What are your recommendations?
