Following a major makeover costing HK$20 million, Madame Tussauds
Hong Kong is offering visitors an unprecedented hands-on multimedia
experience at its celebrity waxworks museum. The world-famous
attraction now features more than 100 incredible wax likenesses of
stars, world leaders and sports heroes displayed in five totally
interactive themed settings that are spread over three floors
within the completely refurbished
Peak Tower
complex. I’s an amazing experience like no other!
Visitors to the new-look Madame Tussauds Hong Kong can not only
meet their favourite idols but also join them in doing whatever has
made them famous ?all to the accompaniment of appropriate
background sounds. You can putt with Tiger Woods, shoot hoops with
Yao Ming, dance on stage with Aaron Kwok and even step into a
Rembrandt painting!
?
Guests can stroll through the attraction stopping to mingle with
the stars and celebrities in the themed areas of Hong Kong Glamour,
Music Icons, Historical and National Heroes, The Champions and
World Premiere. You are allowed to pose with any of the wax models
and even have your picture taken professionally.
Those more inclined to the international stage can stand
alongside President Hu Jintao as he steps from his plane to the
rapturous applause of the welcoming committee, or obtain an
official seal of approval from George W Bush as they address the
nation from the presidential podium.
If you ever wondered how these models are made, you can watch
the fascinating wax figure-making process being demonstrated.
There's also a souvenir shop featuring a full range of exciting
souvenirs and gifts.
