China's great wall of chocolate

Behind the lens

China's Great Wall is famous for its sturdy, long structure. Now it also comes high in calories.

This 10-metre-long edible replica was built entirely from solid chocolate bricks. It's going on display at a Beijing theme park, the World Chocolate Wonderland.

Up to 80 tonnes of chocolate were used to make the display. It even includes 560 terracotta - or rather chocolate - warriors.

The original Great Wall took more than 2,000 years to build and stretches for 4,000 miles. One of the Seven Wonders of the World, it's likely to remain a tourist mainstay for hundreds more years.

It's unlikely this delicious version will last anywhere near as long.
