What to do with a huge Olympic stadium once the games are over is always a problem. Well, in Beijing, they decided the solution was to fill it with 80 tons of chocolate.

World Chocolate Wonderland is the world’s first chocolate theme park. With five indoor areas and two outdoor areas, it is a visual feast of chocolate creations – including a 12-meter long replica of the Great Wall of China and 560 terracotta warriors. There are chocolate waterfalls, cars, clothes, money and all kinds of other chocaholic pleasures and activities to indulge in.

The park will only be open in the winter though, closing every Spring before the warm weather melts it away.

Take Subway Line 8 to Olympic Green. Open Jan 29 to April 10.

    Don’t be fooled by the name, this surreal place isn’t really an island and there aren’t any fish.
