Madame Tussauds Hong Kong
has added Chief Executive Donald Tsang - or rather his incredible wax likeness -
as a permanent addition to the attraction, marking the first time that such a high
ranking Special Administrative Region leader has graced the “world famous home of the
famous”.
To help promote tourism in Hong Kong, the Chief Executive
accepted the invitation from
Madame Tussauds Hong Kong to create his perfect wax likeness which took almost six
months to complete.
“Madame Tussauds Hong Kong is dedicated to being the most captivating city centre
attraction where we feature the most requested celebrities for our guests’ enjoyment. It is
with great honour and appreciation that we welcome Chief Executive Donald Tsang to
Madame Tussauds Hong Kong,” said Bret
Pidgeon, General Manager of Madame Tussauds
Hong Kong and Shanghai.
As the newest addition to the celebrity-inspired attraction, the Chief Executive’s wax figure is
situated in the Historical and National Heroes area, alongside other notable world leaders.
His figure is displayed against a dazzling backdrop of the Hong Kong skyline,
filled with festive fireworks. When standing next to the wax figure, guests will be surrounded
by the iconic sounds of night time fireworks over spectacular Victoria
Harbour.
“Madame Tussauds Hong Kong is one of the most popular visitor attractions in the city. Our
mission is to deliver high quality memorable visitor experiences to our guests. With the
addition of the Chief Executive’s wax likeness at the attraction, Mr Tsang will be able to greet
every visitor from around the world here as well as to share the magic of Hong Kong,”
added Bret.
The Chief Executive’s wax figure wears a dark blue suit, along with a matching bow-tie,
handkerchief and a pin featuring the “Brand Hong Kong” logo donated from the Chief
Executive’s personal wardrobe.
