A stunning chocolate version of China's iconic national treasure, the Nine Dragons and Nine Phoenixes Crown, has become a sweet online sensation.

Craftsmen at Beijing Chocolate Museum have delicately recreated this popular cultural relic from the National Museum of China. They restored the elegance of the ancient royal treasure with exquisite techniques including mold pouring and hand sculpting.

The original Nine Dragons and Nine Phoenixes Crown is a first-class national cultural relic in China. It was unearthed from the Dingling Mausoleum in Beijing in 1957, belonging to Empress Xiaoduan of the Ming Dynasty.
