Beijing's World Chocolate Wonderland 'proves popular'

A chocolate theme park is proving popular with sweet-toothed people, it has been reported.

Called the World Chocolate Wonderland, the park features items made from about 80,000 kilograms of real chocolate, including the largest replica of the Great Wall in the world.

Other items include life-sized chocolate replicas of the Terracotta Soldiers, while people will also be given the chance to learn how to make tasty treats.

Speaking to China Daily, Tina Zheng, the project's general manager, said the park took about two years to make.

"We spent nearly half a year gathering all the chocolate material and chocolate artists. Just as Charlie's Chocolate Factory aims to show a happy and splendid western concept, we also want to instil a happy element to the world."

"We hope to integrate the 3000 years of chocolate history with the 5000 year history of China and hope to see some sparkling impact during the process," she added.

The museum is located next to the Bird's Nest Stadium, the national arena used during the Olympic Games in 2008.
