Originally published way back in 1954-55, Tolkien’s ‘The Lord of the Rings’ trilogy was released when the People’s Republic of China (PRC) was mostly closed off to the world. In the past few decades, however, the author’s celebrated stories have found their way into the hearts and minds of China’s citizens.
In this episode of the podcast, we explore how the literary works of the ‘father of high fantasy’ made their way to China.

Ep.10 – China Reimagined as Zelda's Mythical Kingdom of Hyrule
With the arrival of yet another addition to 'The Legend of Zelda' franchise, I have decided to assemble a quirky episode of the podcast comparing locations from the fictional world of Hyrule to real-life sites in China. This list has been created for fun and in no way am I attempting to suggest that locations in China were the inspiration for regions in the Zelda universe. Instead, this episode is intended to be amusing for Zelda fans and offer folks interested in China some outstanding travel recommendations.
