Plot
Two years after the events of the first film, Chimera is captured and taken to the museum, but makes an escape in a scientific facility in a city in China. Lois sounds the alarm and a mass search begins. When the Chimera reaches the streets and gets hits by a car and retreats into an alley.

In the morning Yi avoids her mother and grandmother and does a series of odd jobs and passes by neighbor Jin, who is socializing with a group of girls and friends. As she heads back into her apartment Jin's younger cousin, Peng, tries to get either Yi or Jin to join him in playing basketball. Yi tries sneaking past her mother and grandmother who lament Yi's asociability since her father's death. When her mother asks Yi to play the violin after dinner, Yi blurts out a lie about selling it.

Yi reaches her rooftop hideaway and plays the violin looking over the city after looking over her funds and plans of traveling across Chine that her father had planned for the family. A helicopter still searching for the Chimera blows her off her feet which she discovers sleeping in a corner. Rashly she decides to hide the Chimera, and come morning she uses some of her money for medical supplies when she realizes he's hurt. After gaining the beast's trust and it indicates familiarity with a billboard of Mount Everest, Yi realizes that he is the supposed mythical creature. Yi having played her violin to sooth the monster who sings along with her and grown a flower from a pot, though Yi remained oblivious at the time.

Meanwhile, Lankton tries to put the pressure on Lois and his head of security to find the monster as soon as possible in time for a scientific conference.

Back at Yi's apartment, her grandmother Nai Nai and Peng notice that their air conditioning unit is being stolen and pulled up to the roof. Yi who reaches it first tries to get the yeti to drop it, and as she's doing so Jin and Peng reach the roof and misunderstand the situation into thinking a monster was trying to eat Yi. Jin immediately calls the police, and as he does so Lois and the security pick up the call on a police scanner.

When Lankton's group comes, Chimera panics and kidnaps Yi. Jin and Peng immediately make to follow on the ground. Eventually, the yeti and Yi reach the docks and she gets him to get on a barge. That's when Jin and Peng catch up, but Yi, after a moment of hesitation jumps after the monster. Peng jumps after them, and after a moment of frustration, Jin does the same.

On the barge, Jin calls his mother in the morning and tells her that he, Peng, and Yi are visiting his university of choice in Beijing. The gang hideaway in a shipping crate of soda which is loaded onto a truck and falls off eventually while it's traveling. Having eaten nothing since the previous day, Chimera sings a song which grows blueberries in the area around them. The berries, however, bloat disproportionately and pop out and explode, sending the quartet running.

When they're finally at rest, Jin's plans are to return to the docks. However, Yi points out traveling in the woods in the dark is a bad idea, so Jin grudgingly follows Yi's example of settling down for the night. Yi also realizes that Chimera is a son of the deceased toy maker, despite how large he seems in comparison to them. In the morning, after watching Yi play on her violin for Chimera, Jin agrees to go with them to the Xi River, one of the landmarks that will lead to the Himalaya mountains.

Not far behind, Lankton's group is gathering intel while Lankton himself rediscovers some of the wonders of nature and exploration.

In the Huangshan mountains, the gang takes a break blowing dandelions when they're corned by Lankton's group. Chimera hums and the dandelions become huge enough to carry their weight, but Jin is left behind. With no other choice, and convinced well enough that Lankton and Lois won't really harm them, he tells them of the town they're planning on meeting at. However, while Lois is genuine enough, Jin overhears Lankton is willing to kill the Chimera and turn his body parts into the museum attraction in order to became a successful business man like his brother. Jin makes his escape by himself. Simultaneously, Yi, Peng, and Chimera also make their way to their meeting point.

The group continues their travels and when they reach the awe-inspiring buddha statue, Yi realizes that all the places they've traveled are to those postcard images her father left behind for her. It turns out the path they've been taking has been deliberate on Chimera's part. Moved, Yi pulls out her violin and plays a song, unknowingly calling forth magic rain clouds whose every drop of water causes flowers to bloom where they fell. The statues and their surrounds become covered in beautiful white flowers.

At a bridge that would reach the Himalayas, the gang is surrounded by Lankton's men. Chimera climbs to the top of one of the bridge's towers and calls form a lightning storm. Lois, breathless and amazed, flashes back to the first time he saw a monster. He recalls the fear and then the realization he had when he saw the yeti was protecting its children. Lois understands that Everest is only trying to protect the other children and makes to call off his guards.

Lankton signals the head of security to knock Lois out and takes control of the operation. Yi tries to stop him from putting Chimera down with tranquilizers, and in their struggle, Lankton shoves her off the bridge. Jin, Peng, and Chimera are then caged and taken.

As Lois' caravan starts making their way back down the mountains, Yi, who had managed to hang onto a rope from the bridge, makes her way back up. Using her magic violin she calls forth an avalanche that stops the cars in its path. Chimera wakes and makes to escape. Angrily, Lankton turns the car he's in around and tries to run him over. Instead, he and his henchmen end up falling off the road cliff to their deaths, as McLimo is arrested for his crimes. Lois, who was also safe, promises to take Yi, Jin, and Peng back home, but first Yi tells him they have to finish taking Chimera back to his.

Everest calls forth wind clouds in the shape of fish, and the group rides them to the top of Mount Everest. The three humans wish their monster friend goodbye, and Chimera is reunited with his family.

Back home in their city, Yi subtly reconciles with her mother and grandmother by agreeing to have dinner together. Jin and Peng also join them and they share a package sent to them by Lois which contains mountaineering equipment with a note telling them it's for their next adventure.
