Hidden Kingdom is the setting of most events in Hero: 108. It appears to be a very large region wtih many diverse areas, ranging from oceans, forests, and mountains to deserts and tundras. In Collision Course, Lin Chung calls it "our world" while drawing a picture of his home planet to communicate with an alien, seemingly suggesting that Hidden Kingdom may be the entire planet. Furthermore, in The Sword of Dark Fire, Lin Chung mentions the "molten core of Hidden Kingdom", however, Lin Chung was likely referring to the planet (likely earth) as a whole in both references, and Hidden Kingdom is more likely a region, as seen in The Professionals, when Mr. No Hands mentions "the dark edges of Hidden Kingdom", suggesting that it is a bounded geographical area, which is further corroborated when Commander ApeTrully mentions "The four corners of the realm" in The Bronze Giant. It is the home all main characters, as well as many other humans and animals.

Trivia[]
- It is unclear to what degree Hidden Kingdom is intended to relate to the real world. In some episodes, real world art is closely mimicked, such as in Shark Castle, when structures resembling Easter Island heads were created, and real world places are mentioned, such as that of China in the form of "Chinese soap berries" in Baboon Castle. In other episodes, it appears to be a world unto itself.
- According to Commander ApeTrully, Hidden Kingdom draws its life energy from the Lake of Thai Gi.
