Great Wall of China, now made in chocolate!

Washington, January 30 (ANI): Artists in China are revelling in sweet delight after recreating the Great Wall with tons of chocolate.

A team of innovative chocolatiers unwrapped a 30-foot chocolate model of the wonder along with artefacts of famed terracotta warriors and a Louis Vuitton handbag for a new exhibit at the Chocolate Wonderland theme park in Beijing.

Other creations also included a life-sized chocolate basketball player suspended from the ceiling in mid-dunk, a plate of painted chocolate sushi, and a pair of chocolate thigh-high boots, reports csmonitor.com.

Organisers described the effort as "a combination of Chinese tradition and chocolate creativity."

Artistic director Lin Zhengzong said: "We want people to come and say 'Wow, wow, wow'."

The exhibition's manager, Zheng Yaoting, added: "Chinese people don't dislike chocolate. They just don't know much about it. We hope to change that." (ANI)
