'Chocolate theme park' opens in China
A new seasonal visitor attraction, called The World Chocolate Wonderland, has opened in the Beijing, China.
The 20,000sq m (215,000sq ft) park includes three zones of exhibits made out of chocolate - including an army of terracotta warriors and a 10m long replica of the Great Wall of China.
Located on the Olympic Green, close to the iconic Bird's Nest Stadium, the main venue for the 2008 Olympic Games, one of the exhibits is dedicated entirely to sports.
Another zone examines the history of chocolate and exhibits how the product is produced in different countries, such as France, Switzerland and Belgium.
The attraction will stay open until April, when the weather will become too warm for the site to be sustained. It will then reopen in January 2011 for another four-month stretch with a completely different layout.
