People could make their own chocolate artifacts with the help of professionals, she said.
Costing more than $10 million, the show consumed 80 tons of chocolate. The park will last until April 10 when the weather will begin to get warm.
The chocolate theme park is part of Beijing's efforts to utilize the Olympic venues after the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, said Ma Yinghui, deputy director of Chaoyang District Tourism Bureau.
