The Bird's Nest introduced the snowy winter wonderland between December and February this year. The National Aquatics Center, or Water Cube, was closed in October last year for renovations until mid 2010 when the center would be open to international competitions as well as aquatic sports for fitness, recreation and travel visits.
"I'm happy to be among those who lead the trend," Zheng said. "We try to bridge the East and the West by integrating chocolate with China's cultural characteristics."
