China plans to cater to the country's rising number of chocoholics with the opening next year of a Willy Wonka-style theme park in Beijing, complete with a replica Great Wall, according to state media. The 'world chocolate dream park', reminiscent of Roald Dahl's beloved book 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', will feature a life-size edible Terracotta Army, Great Wall and versions of famous paintings and is due to open in January 2010, located on the Olympic Green, which also includes the iconic Bird's Nest stadium and the Water Cube aquatics centre used during the Beijing Summer Games last year.
