The  other creations will include the Taipei 101 skyscraper, the Great Wall of China and the Mogao Caves.

The exhibition was planned after a similar chocolate art show attracted nearly 4 lakh visitors in Beijing earlier this year.

Chocolate melts beyond 20 degrees Celsius, so the exhibits will have to be kept in a temperature controlled room.

One of the biggest attractions in the exhibition, the Taipei 101 tower, took over one month to create.
