Like most women, I’m a chocoholic. So when I read about the newly opened World Chocolate Wonderland theme park in Beijing, I had to investigate…
Open until April 10 this year, Chocolate Wonderland is located at Beijing’s iconic Bird’s Nest Stadium and features 80,000 kilograms of imported Belgium chocolate, including a 10-metre chocolate Great Wall of China and replicas of life-sized Terracotta Warriors.
Other highlights include:
• chocolate fountains (pictured below)
• a chocolate car and motorcycle
• people, clothing, shoes, a mobile phone and famous paintings, all made from, you-guessed it, chocolate!!
The Louis Vuitton handbags (pictured above), made from different coloured chocolate, look like amazing souvenirs, but I suspect they would taste quite rich…
If getting there is impossible, check out this tempting Video footage.
