Sweet temptations for Beijing
BEIJING – A team of Chinese confectioners have built a 10 metre long replica of the Great Wall entirely out of chocolate.
The chocolate wall is made from solid dark chocolate bricks stuck together with white chocolate and is one of the attractions at the World Chocolate Wonderland exhibition and trade show which will open to the public at the end of the month.
Chocolatier Wang Qilu said that his version of the ancient wall was a feat of engineering in itself, with a carefully constructed crumbling section at one end to resemble the real thing.
Up to 80 tons of chocolate were used in making the displays, which include a mini-army of 560 chocolate replicas of the famous Terracotta Warriors standing to attention on a layer of chocolate flakes.
The Chocolate Wonderland will open to public on the square at the north side of Beijing’s Bird’s Nest on January 29.
