Welcome to the fantasy land where characters from "Middle Earth", such as the wizard Gandalf, the Elf prince and the Hobbit Gollum, break into an ancient water town in East China, together with Dr Grordbort, with lots of ray guns from the future world.
An ongoing show, The Future of the Visual Arts, in the small town of Wuzhen in Zhejiang province, presents the magical world of The Lord of The Rings, a sci-fi film franchise, set in a landscape with a history of 1,300 years.
It's aimed to inspire Chinese young people engaged in the visual effects of the film industry, according to its organizers, the Weta Workshop in New Zealand and 421 Studio in China.
