The World Chocolate Wonderland, China's chocolate-themed park, threw open its gates to the world on December 16. 

 

According to organisers, the purpose of creating the theme park is to "bring a little sweetness" to the Chinese people during the recession. Furthermore, it was designed to allow visitors to learn about chocolate's history and its impact on other cultures.

The exhibition includes a life-size replica army of chocolate terracotta warriors, chocolate flowers and a chocolate car.
