A Chocolate Theme Park Will Hatch In Beijing's Bird's Nest Stadium Next Year
Important statistical news just in: the number of chocoholics found in China is rising. This could be bad news if we think of having to share the world's supply of chocolate with an increasing number of people, but the flipside is positive stuff—China's going to open a "world chocolate dream park" in Beijing next year.
The theme park will be housed in the Olympic Green (where the famous Olympics "Bird's Nest" stadium is) and will include five indoor pavilions and two outdoor sites full of chocolate-themed exhibits. They say this will include life-size, edible chocolate versions of the Great Wall of China and the Terracotta Army.
A number of Swiss and Belgian chocolate makers are said to be interested in the project, although details are still under wraps. With chocolate just starting to become a popular snack in China, it's a huge market that's worth getting involved in.
Visitors to Beijing should be able to see the chocolate Great Wall from January 2010. We're hoping that like the Berlin Wall, we'll be able to buy some souvenir chunks—they'll be a lot tastier than the German concrete.
