The word chocolate always brings a sweet memory to mind to anyone who hears it; this may be a special moment or the delicious taste of chocolate or something similar. So for all the chocolate lovers throughout the world, Shanghai brings you a truly new experience by presenting you the World Chocolate Wonderland. A much better world than what people have seen at the imaginary Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.
This is the first theme park of this sort in China. This can be easily visited while on a sightseeing tour to the Bird’s Nest, where the Olympic Games were held. Everything in this special park is made of chocolate, where great craftsmanship has been needed along with great patience. The creators have added more ingredients to make the carving process easier. As a result, mind-blowing creations like a replica of the Great Wall of China, which is 12 meters long, has been erected. Apart from this, a replica of the famous Terracotta Army, which comprises five hundred life-sized figures can be witnessed by the visitors while exploring the attraction. Car lovers wouldn’t be disappointed either; there is a massive BMW that has taken two tons of chocolates to create. Enjoy a life-sized car that is made out of a totally delicious cocoa compared with all the metal and mechanical ones that we see day-to-day.
Shopaholics! There would be many interesting creations such as shoes, handbags and many more ornamental creations from chocolate. These would look so real that it would take time for anyone to figure out that these are not real products. The temperature of the entire park is controlled to protect all these beautiful creations from melting. It is said that this park is 20,000 metres long and has taken 176,000 lbs chocolates for creation. This would definitely be compelte paradise for a kid and it might be the same even for an adult. Also, while walking through the aisle, the guests would get the option to get to know all historical data about chocolate and its impact on different cultures of the world.
After exploring every inch of this wonderful location, return to your preferred Shanghai Serviced Residence. The Somerset Xu Hui Shanghai is one of the most convenient Shanghai Executive Apartments that one can come across in the city. The modern facilities and the spacious and comfortable rooms would be a perfect location to unwind and relax after an exhausting day.

Duolun Street in Shanghai was originally constructed in the early 20th century and went by the name of a long forgotten British missionary. It came into its own in the 1920s and 30s when the writer Lu Xun and other progressive writers of the time like Mao Dun, Guo Moruo and Ding Ling moved into the area gathering other similar literary types around them making the street a cultural and literary centre. Doulun Street was opened to the public as Culture Street in 1998 and is the place that people come to, to find links with China’s pre revolutionary cultural scene. Located north of the Bund the once lavish homes and shops in this 8 km stretch have been refurbished and cars have been banned so that it is now a lovely pedestrian area of bookshops, tea houses, antique shops, galleries and historic homes. The Duolun Museum of Modern Art is there as is a 1920s Christian church with upturned eaves, the old film café that shows Chinese movies of the 1920s and 30s, the League of Leftist Writers Museum with the hall where the league was founded restored to its original condition and a mid 1920s mansion of a fabulously wealthy Shanghai entrepreneur are all in the neighbourhood.
