Picture of the Day: Gingerbread Palace

Forbidden City made of gingerbread at the St. Regis Beijing

China may be the world's factory, pumping out clothes, toys, iPhones, and a zillion other things that people want for Christmas, but it is also getting into the holiday spirit -- with Chinese characteristics.

Exhibit A -- this Forbidden City made out of... gingerbread! This picture is from BBC correspondent Stephen McDonnell.

It's on show at The St. Regis Beijing, and includes the dragons in the centre panel, the stairs are dusted with sugar, though the golden roof is not.

Pretty impressive and kudos to the pastry team that must have spent weeks working on it! 

Anyone dare to take a bite?
