A woman with straight blond hair stands in a black jump suit, while cameras flash all around her. Is that Lady Gaga? No, it's just a waxwork of the pop queen in Madame Tussauds Hong Kong.
Located on Victoria Peak, Madame Tussauds features more than 100 waxworks of stars, world leaders and sports heroes displayed in five interactive themed settings spread over three floors within the completely refurbished Peak Tower. Fans can get close to these celebrities via a multimedia experience.
Visitors can not only meet their favorite idols but also join them in doing whatever has made them famous. You can putt with Tiger Woods, shoot hoops with Yao Ming, dance on a stage with Aaron Kwok and even step into a Rembrandt painting.
While guests stroll through the museum, they can stop to mingle with stars and celebrities in the themed areas of Hong Kong Glamour, Music Icons, Historical and National Heroes, The Champions and World Premiere. They are allowed to pose with any of the wax models and even have a professional photo taken.
Visitors who prefer figures from the international stage can stand beside 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 Barack Obama as they give an address from the presidential podium.
If you ever wondered how these models are made, you can watch demonstrations of the vivid wax figure-making process. There is also a souvenir shop featuring a full range of gifts.
Madame Tussauds opens daily at 10 a.m. and closes at 10 p.m., so you have enough time to spend with your idols. Just remember to bring your camera.
