City made of biscuits on display in London

By at 10:51 am Tuesday, Feb 21

A Chinese artist has built a huge city in miniature out of biscuits at Selfridges department store in London:
An estimated 72,000 biscuits, including digestives, chocolate digestives, rich tea, hobnobs, caramels and fruit shortcake, will be used during the week-long project.

Mr Dong has also built biscuit cities in Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai and Paris.
