Beijing plans Wonka-style chocolate theme park
(18 September 2009)The Chinese capital Beijing is planning a Willy Wonka-style theme park, complete with a chocolate replica of the Great Wall and a life-size edible Terracotta Army.
The ‘World Chocolate Dream Park', set to open in January 2010, will be reminiscent of Roald Dahl's much-loved book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, ChannelNewsAsia reported.
"Our ‘chocolate wonderland' will be beyond the imagination," said Tina Cheng, general manager of the company operating the park.
Plans include five pavilions and two outdoor sites where chocolate-made objects, such as the replica Great Wall, will be on display, say Channel News Asia.
The park will be located in the Olympic Green, which also includes the iconic Bird's Nest stadium and the Water Cube Aquatics Centre - all used during the 2008 Olympic Games.
