Madame Tussaud's Museum (Dusha Furen Laxiangguan)

Frommer's Review

Just opening at press time, this museum is the sixth Madame Tussaud's in the world and mainland China's first. Located on the tenth floor of the New World Shopping Center on the north side of People's Square, the museum features over 70 wax figures including a mix of Chinese and foreign icons like Princess Diana, Bill Gates, Jackie Chan, Bill Clinton, Chinese Olympian Liu Xiang, and late Hong Kong singer and actor Leslie Cheung, all placed in seven themed areas including music, film, sports, history, and heroes. Billed as the most interactive Madame Tussaud's yet, visitors can now have their photos taken shooting hoops with Yao Ming, playing soccer with David Beckham, or simply gazing into the eyes of Audrey Hepburn -- the celebrity of choice to be photographed with, according to surveys conducted in major Chinese cities.
