Yeah, I like the idea that they decided to include more “global” legends/myths/fairy-tales in S2. In 1×17, there’s a Chinese-looking door in the portal created by Jefferson’s magic hat. I also noticed in 1×20 that Regina has Chinese figurines in her dinning room (which I think are also hints for Mulan).
