Tips for Visiting Madame Tussauds Hong Kong  

Take a look at the few things you need to know and remember before planning your trip to Madame Tussauds which is one of the most highlighted sites of attraction in Hong Kong:

- Madame Tussauds wax museum does not house too many western celebrities, unlike the Chinese. You can find wax figurines of Tiger Wood and David Beckham among its collections. So, it's recommended that you should collect a fair amount of information about the Chinese and other Asian celebrities before visiting Madame Tussauds so that you can relate your acquaintance with the figurines you find there.
- DO NOT forget to bring your Id proof before entering the museum.
- If you are a senior citizen (over 50 years of age), ask for the entrance fee concession provided to them. For this, you may need to show your age proof.
- As the museum is located on a hilltop, you will need to board on to a tilt cable car from Central Hong Kong. If you find it difficult to find one, it is better to seek the help of the locals. 
- It may take you an entire day to make a complete tour around the museum and its surroundings and you are likely to feel tired and hungry after your day trip. To sate your hunger you can try a bowl of yummy hot Wanton Noodles at the Mask Noodles (a Michelin starred food joint located just outside the museum).
