Madame Tussauds Shanghai is the sixth Madame Tussauds wax museum in the world. [Location] Madame Tussauds Shanghai is located near People's Square, specifically on the 10th floor of the New World Department Store on Nanjing West Road. From the New World Department Store, take the sightseeing elevator directly to the museum. [Ticket Information] Adult tickets are 170 RMB each, and student tickets are 130 RMB each. Student ID is required. Purchasing tickets online is the most convenient option, while in-person ticketing can lead to long lines. [Note: The online ticket collection point is slightly separate from the on-site ticketing point; please ask the staff for details.] [Visit Experience] A full tour of Madame Tussauds takes approximately 1-2 hours. The museum is divided into sections, including those for international celebrities, politicians, and the Korean Wave. Overall, the wax figures are incredibly lifelike and can be touched. Photos and group photos are welcome. Wax figures of key figures like Audrey Hepburn and Barack Obama were surrounded. Sadly, the museum's treasure, Fan Bingbing in a dragon robe, was missing; it's likely being taken away for maintenance. For celebrity fans, this is a worthwhile visit. The only downside is the pricey admission, which doesn't offer a good value. Finally, there's a 4D movie called "Ice Age," which is also worth seeing.

By Zhao Xiaoben |

I often see celebrities unveiling their wax figures online, so a visit here is a must. The wax museum is divided into seven themed exhibition areas: "Behind the Scenes," "The Charm of Shanghai," "Historical Figures," "Movies," "Music," "Sports," and "Speed." Here, you can see your favorite stars and celebrities and take stunning photos. Many scenes are truly immersive. You can enjoy the same stage and lighting as the singers, and even walk the red carpet.

Madame Tussauds Shanghai is a tourist attraction in Shanghai.

Shanghai was chosen from over thirty cities worldwide to become the home of the world's sixth Madame Tussauds wax museum. Tussauds Group prioritized China's vast celebrity population and promising market potential. Through detailed market research, the long list of candidates was carefully selected, each of whom is a figure most Chinese people yearn to meet. Madame Tussauds Shanghai is divided into seven themed exhibition areas: "Behind the Scenes," "The Charm of Shanghai," "Historical Figures and National Leaders," "Film," "Music," "Sports," and "Speed." Visitors can pose for photos with over 80 lifelike wax figures of Chinese and international celebrities and participate in interactive experiences such as singing, filming, and playing basketball with the stars.

By The Count and the Maiden's Feast |

There were so many people visiting the wax figures today, the line was incredibly long and I couldn't get in line. Adult tickets are 135 yuan, and student tickets are 100 yuan. We used the QQ membership promotion, which only cost 50 yuan, and there were no cuts. While selling tickets, I also bought two Huangpu River Sightseeing Tunnel tickets, originally 40 yuan, for only 32 yuan.

After buying my ticket, I headed straight for the gate. Upon entering, I was greeted by the newly arrived President Obama. Further inside, I saw all sorts of film and music stars, including Madonna, Cecilia Cheung, Julian, Zhao Wei, Joey Yung, and even two billionaires: Li Ka-shing and Bill Gates. It was incredibly lifelike, especially Gates's eyes, as if he were staring right at me. Further inside, I found numerous exhibition halls, featuring Elvis Presley, Jackson, Leslie Cheung, Michael Jordan, Albert Einstein, Charlie Chaplin, Coco Lee, Mei Lanfang, and a host of other Pepsi stars...

The wax museum is mainly divided into seven areas: "Behind the Scenes", "Charm of Shanghai", "Historical Celebrities and National Leaders", "Movies", "Music", "Sports" and "Speed". In addition to taking photos with the wax figures, you can also join in the interaction with the "stars" by singing, filming movies, playing basketball, etc.

By Chrissy |

Fortunately, there weren't many people around. I finally found Lao Ke after searching for a long time. Just for this photo, the 200 yuan was worth it.

By Yu'er |

It's a very happy thing to be able to take photos with my favorite celebrities. Although the tickets are a little expensive, I personally think it's worth it. Having fun is the most important thing 👌 (-^0^-)

By I don't expect you to care about me |

Madame Tussauds, after booking online, scan the QR code to enter. It is recommended to go in the morning because after the end of the night, there is Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street behind, and at the end is the Bund. Take the Bund Cross-River Tunnel to the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Economic and Trade Building.

By China-TravelNote users |

The 190 yuan ticket included a free photo, which I didn't use, so the total entrance fee was 200 yuan per person. It's in the New World Building at the end of Nanjing Road, I think it's on the tenth floor. There are wax figures of celebrities from all walks of life inside, and you can take photos with them. I feel like the wax figures are taller than the real people. When I went there during the Spring Festival in 2018, there were three wax figures of Hu Ge, probably because Hu Ge is from Shanghai ^_^

By white ball |

This is the world of wax figures and also our paradise for taking photos.

There were many foreign celebrities when I walked in, so I rushed over to take photos with them.

There are several people in Hepburn who need to be photographed by staff. They are photographed with professional cameras at the best angle, and then they take the receipt to the exit to buy it, which costs 80 yuan per photo.

By raorao |

On the 10th floor of New World, foreign stars are more realistic and divided into celebrity areas such as entertainment, sports, scientists, and the Politburo.

By Kona |

My husband prefers sports stars.

By Big Bad Wolf |

It's still pretty good to take some photos.

By Liu Ying |

There are international entertainment stars, anime and cartoon characters, the Avengers, and so on. I've been to quite a few wax museums, but the one in Shanghai really excites me. First of all, the sheer number of items in the collection is so impressive that even I, who's not much of a photographer, can't stop. It breaks away from the dull, boring nature of traditional wax museums and incorporates many interactive technological elements, like a wax figure of Huba from Monster Hunt with animated eyes and expressions, a smart-sensing dancing screen, and all sorts of misplaced props for photo ops. It would be even more perfect if it could emulate the mobile phone-generated animations at Art In Paradise in Thailand.

By Get off the fishing boat |

There are new discoveries every time. Don't go during holidays. Tickets are 30 yuan more expensive and the crowds are overwhelming.

By Xiao |

We entered at 7pm, so there weren't many people. We didn't have to worry about queuing and could take as many photos as we wanted. Our visit lasted less than two hours. Unfortunately, we missed the 4D movie at the exit, as we had been looking forward to it.

Some wax figures look very real, while others don’t. You need to find the right angle to take pictures.

I realized it a little later, after I finished watching it, that there were some missing wax figures. I don’t know why.

Suggestions: 1. Wear clothes well to look better in photos👀;

2. If you want to watch a movie, please confirm the movie time in advance.

By Nicolas Chai |

Madame Tussauds in Shanghai is worth a visit. There are quite a few figures, and while they're all wax figures, besides taking photos, you can also get a feel for the real-life size of celebrities, which is quite different from what you see on screen. I'm glad Robert is there; I wish I could meet him in person someday!

By DaddyPuff |

Madame Tussauds Shanghai opened on May 1, 2006. It inherits the essence of Madame Tussauds for 200 years and displays lifelike celebrity wax figures, giving visitors the opportunity to interact with their heroes up close. There are nine theme exhibition areas in the museum, including Audrey Hepburn, Yao Ming, Liu Xiang, Lin Dan, Beckham, Teresa Teng, Leslie Cheung, Zhao Wei, Jay Chou[1], Li Yundi, Li Yuchun, Li Bingbing, Zhang Yimou, Jackie Chan, Wu Qilong[2][3], Marilyn Monroe, Albert Einstein, Princess Diana, Bill Gates, Barack Obama, Lady Nearly a hundred lifelike wax figures of celebrities, including Gaga, Rihanna, Feng Xiaogang, Nicholas Tse, Fan Bingbing, Chen Kun, TVXQ, Jolin Tsai, Julian Cheung, Kris Wu, and Yang Yang, combined with stunning audio-visual effects and high-tech interactive experiences, allow visitors to feel as if they are among the celebrities, get close to their favorite idols, and be infected by the star's charm and style.

By Miss next year |

I bought the ticket on China-TravelNote and was able to enter by scanning the QR code. When I went in, I saw that there were indeed few people. I was very relieved.

I didn't tell my mother about all the plans in advance because I wanted to give her the freshest experience and see her happy face.

So, when she came in, she understood, Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, wow, and Wu Xiubo, she was stunned, hahaha, she couldn't accept that they were all here.

I asked her to sit next to Wu Xiubo, lean on his arm, and get closer.

No, she couldn't do it at all. She always kept her distance and was embarrassed to get close. Then I explained to her that this was a wax figure, made in a one-to-one ratio, with the same height, weight and body shape, just like seeing the real Wu Xiubo. So she began to observe him carefully, and slowly she got better.

Next, I took all kinds of photos. Later, I had more fun than me. At that time, I looked at the guide and saw my friends saying to queue up to take photos. Compared with me taking photos over and over again, they must be envious and jealous. It was not as good as the 3D museum in Phu Quoc Island, where there were only four of us and we could roll around and have fun.

There are my favorite Edward, Zhang Zhen,

But when I saw Xue Zhiqian, he looked so skinny~~

Before leaving the museum, there was a short 4D movie, Ice Age. It was my mother’s first time experiencing 4D and she said it was very interesting.

By Morning Like a Dream |

I've always been curious and excited about wax museums, and this time I finally got to visit one in Shanghai. So, how can I put it? The wax figures, while incredibly lifelike, felt incredibly fake. This may seem contradictory, but it's my honest opinion. Perhaps it's because they lack a certain amount of life. Fake is still fake, and it can't quite be mistaken for the real thing.

Having said that, for a "newbie" like me, this trip was worthwhile. It allowed me to get up close and personal with wax figures, enriched my experience, and filled a gap in my life. Personally, I think wax museums are still worth visiting, but there's no need to go repeatedly. Choose a well-reputed one and one visit is enough.

[Tips] The first floor is for on-site ticket purchases, while the second floor is for online reservations, ticket collection, and on-site purchases. Online reservations require a day in advance, and the ticket collection area is typically empty. For on-site ticket purchases, many people see the first-floor queue and simply follow it. In fact, there are five more windows on the second floor. If the first floor is crowded, head straight there; the lines usually move faster.

By Xiaomu |

Madame Tussauds are all similar everywhere. Tickets are not cheap, but you can just walk around and leave quickly.

By Xiaoqianer 🔆 |

Student tickets are 150 yuan each, and you must bring your student ID. Graduate students are considered adults, and buying tickets on the tenth floor is much less crowded than on the first floor. Inside, there are many areas, and the wax figures are incredibly lifelike! There are photo ops everywhere, and you have to queue up for them. Don't take too long, as everyone is waiting. There's a Tomb Raiders section where people are dressed as soldiers and other characters, and they can get scary, so be careful. It's a great place to visit, and it took just over an hour to complete.

By Kou Chunyu |

I forgot to buy tickets in advance; online tickets require a day in advance. Tickets purchased at the door cost 550 for two adults and one child. They gave me a booklet and a photo, which was a bit pricey, but worth seeing. After all, most of the figures are incredibly lifelike. Looking closely, I was almost afraid they'd come alive.

By nothing_zero |

It's good, but there are really a lot of people, all taking group photos, so it's hard to take a photo without people in it

By overtake |

Worth a visit 1. The network needs to be booked in the morning 2. The characters are very real 3. The elevator goes directly to the tenth floor of the commercial building

By Rain on the Road |

Madame Tussauds Shanghai is well-known and has received rave reviews. It has many themed areas and many characters. This was my boyfriend and I've never been to a wax museum before, so I can't compare the good and the bad. I can only say it's worth a visit.

There are really a lot of people in the wax museum, so you have to find the right time to take pictures... Generally, you need to queue up. There are several places where the staff of the venue take pictures, but this service needs to be paid. It is included in the ticket. You can ask the staff when buying tickets at the window.

It is recommended to buy tickets online one day in advance. You can save 20 yuan by buying tickets on the Ctrip APP one day in advance.

Student tickets can only be purchased at the ticket window. I see that you can queue up to buy tickets on the first and tenth floors.

By Fish Little Ga♡ |

I went there to see the idol, Chang Chen! Honestly, having been to Madame Tussauds Beijing before, I wasn't really surprised. The Madame Tussauds in Shanghai is much bigger and has more wax figures. It was a bit crowded, but I was still happy to see the idol (even though there weren't many people taking pictures with Chang Chen 😂).

By A small boat |

Madame Tussauds Shanghai opened on May 1, 2006. Carrying on the 200-year-old spirit of Madame Tussauds, the museum showcases lifelike wax figures of celebrities, giving visitors the opportunity to interact closely with their heroes. The museum features nine themed exhibition areas, showcasing nearly 100 lifelike wax figures of celebrities, including Audrey Hepburn, Yao Ming, Liu Xiang, Lin Dan, and Yang Yang. Combined with stunning audio-visual effects and high-tech interactive experiences, visitors can feel as if they are among the celebrities, get close to their beloved idols, and be infected by the star's charm and style.

By Walker |

You can see many celebrities here, maybe even your Li Yifeng. If you really see him, don’t rush to him like a crazy fan.

By Asher |

Take the subway to People's Square Station and exit 6. You'll see the New World Department Store. The wax museum is on its 10th floor. Since I didn't book my tickets online in advance, I had to wait in line. Fortunately, there aren't as many tours as at Disneyland, so I bought my ticket in about 20 minutes. Booking online a day in advance can save you money. The wax museum's official WeChat account (search and follow it on WeChat) lists online prices for adults at 170 yuan and students at 130 yuan. Online tickets are 158 yuan for adults and 140 yuan for students at China-TravelNote. Remember to book online in advance; same-day reservations are not available. Be sure to take lots of photos while you're here. It's such a joy to take pictures with your idols! There are so many celebrities. It took about two and a half hours to "dance" with them. After touring the wax museum, I felt like a celebrity myself. I thought to myself, how wonderful it would be to have wax figures of myself and my wife made. They would be so lifelike, and our descendants would remember us.

By Xiaowen mosquito |

It is recommended to make an appointment online and pick up the ticket directly when you arrive, otherwise you will have to wait in the long line to buy tickets on site. In fact, it is worth a visit for tourists who have never seen wax figures or tourists with children, but I personally don’t think it is very interesting, especially when it is very crowded.

Monroe is more interesting. In order to reproduce the classic action, she has been blowing air below...

By Nine Sons |

There is one in Beijing, but I still think it’s a must-visit when you come to Shanghai. Maybe it’s because it’s the first one in China. Tickets are 170 yuan per person.

On weekday afternoons, Madame Tussauds was relatively quiet, but there was a queue in front of one scene, and that was - the hat button on Yao Ming... I really don't understand boys' minds... Hahahaha

There are luggage lockers at the entrance of Madame Tussauds... They also have lockers for large luggage, and it seems to be only 2 yuan per hour.

By 119 is me |

The ticket price was 190 yuan, which was a bit pricey. I didn't buy it online in advance and spent extra money. I hate it!!!

By It's a light rain🐳 |

There are so many celebrities in Madame Tussauds, some of whom even have dedicated exhibition halls. For example, Hu Ge and Huo Jianhua have to pay to take photos with them. There's also an Ice Age hall for older people like us, where we waited in line for a while to watch a short 5D movie.

By chen |

It's near People's Square. I went to buy a ticket and was told that student IDs couldn't be used. I was confused, but luckily they said it was a science and technology festival or something, so there was a discount for a 2-person ticket.

When you go in, you can take photos crazily. There are also some interesting small interactions, some high-tech experience projects, etc. Hehe, there is also a 4D movie at the exit, which is a perfect ending.

The goddess is so beautiful, the male god is also very handsome, and I also like Huba. Jing Boran's portrait is interactive and can blink. I was shocked at first, but it is really realistic and vivid.

My companions have been praising William Chan's wax figure as being very handsome. Here's a separate photo. Unfortunately, the photo didn't turn out very well, but it looks really impressive when you look at it live.

After walking around, I was wondering why I didn’t see Jackie Chan. Haha, it turns out that he has become a free attraction. He is outside in the lobby. It’s a little embarrassing. Hahaha, but I don’t mind it.

By A Tian |

At Madame Tussauds, we took photos with our favorite stars. The wax figures were so lifelike and realistic that they seemed as if they were real.

By Light Chaser |

There are many statues in it, but unfortunately there is no Li Yifeng

By xy |

Tickets are a bit pricey, and the wax figures of established celebrities have been replaced by younger ones. However, as a great place for photos, it's still well worth a visit.

By Walter Jin |

I went there in 2008, which is 10 years ago. I guess the characters inside are very different from now. The level of wax figure production is really uneven. Personally, I think the one who looks the most like him should be director Feng Xiaogang back then. It may be because he has more wrinkles on his face.

By you |

I went to Nanjing Road many times before, but never went there. This time I chose a time when there were fewer people and went inside. It’s not very big, but some links from the recent Shanghai Film Festival have been added to enrich the wax figures. There are many sections inside, including Shanghai Film, with Fan Bingbing, Huang Xuan, and Wu Xiubo, as well as sports sections with Messi, Yao Ming, Kobe, and singing sections with Elvis, Michael Jackson, Jam Hsiao, Joker Xue, etc. The content is still rich enough, and the place is not big, but it still takes a while to take pictures. Finally, there is a 4D movie of Ice Age, which lasts 30 minutes.

By crazy |

Make a reservation at least one day in advance

The wax museum is not very big and it took me about an hour to finish the tour.

By Clouds roll and clouds fly |

If your idol is here, then come over~ It's absolutely realistic, some are not only similar in appearance, but also in spirit~ I went there just for Fo Ye and Su Gege~<(* ̄▽ ̄*)/

By Ranger |

They all look very similar, better than other wax museums I've been to. After all, Madame Tussauds is very famous.

By bang |

The wax museum can be toured in an hour, and you can take photos inside as you like.

By Qi Nuan'a |

Near the People's Square, you can go for a walk after eating fried chicken, haha ..., the tourist bus is on the road nearby, I forgot the fare, I think it's around 270 (including the ticket for the Oriental Pearl Tower), I don't recommend this thing...

By Zimei |

The price/performance ratio is not very high, and it feels a bit shabby.

The wax figures are quite realistic, hahaha, you can take a photo with your idol.

What’s more interesting is that it will show in real time how many tourists are inside, and whether it is crowded...

By Zhaoge Xuanzi goes traveling |

The original price of the ticket is 190 per person. It will be much cheaper if you buy it online in advance. We bought a double ticket for only 255 yuan, which is much cheaper. The exhibition hall is on the 10th floor. You can start exploring as soon as you go up. There are many interactive things in the hall that you can play with. It's interesting. The wax figure of Jing Boran is interactive. If you wave to him, he will respond. However, it is not as advanced as you think. If you want it to be more realistic, you can look for the star's eyes and shoot the camera where his eye nerve passes. It will be like shooting with a real person, otherwise it will be easy to be exposed.

I forgot where it was, but it was easy to find because there was a straight line going all the way to the end. There was an empty sofa with a monitor in front of it. Xue Zhiqian would play with you.

Although these wax figures have a high degree of restoration, they are not 360 degrees without blind spots, so if you feel that they don’t look like the real thing, take some time to find the right angle and it will still be okay.

By The original Xin |

It's very lifelike up close, and looks different from different angles. Some angles are particularly like the real thing!!! I couldn't stop taking photos with them. I recommend buying tickets online a day in advance, which is 20 yuan cheaper. Huo Jianhua and Hepburn were not publicly photographed together, which was unpleasant. Also, Hu Ge's wax figure was taken for maintenance, so I missed it!!!

By Mushroom Mushroom I am a big head |

Some of the wax figures were not very realistic, there were so many people, and it was very hot inside.

By Dudu❤️Ma |

I went to Madame Tussauds Shanghai once in 2017 and took pictures of various wax figures there. In 2018, some new wax figures of celebrities were added. The ones I was most looking forward to were the wax figures of William Chan and Lay Zhang.

The wax museum is not big, and it takes about 2 hours to walk around it twice.

By Zhang Zhiqiang |

The wax museum is on the upper floor of a shopping mall and is not easy to find.

Lifelike characters, from stars to celebrities

The wax museum also has 4D movies to enjoy, "Ice Age"

By zhaohaijiang78 |

I feel that the wax figure is a bit different from the real person, but there are so many people visiting.

By Flowers Outdoor |

Madame Tussauds, the sixth wax museum in the world, showcases historical figures from across the period for the curious.

Ticket prices: Adults 150 yuan; Children 90 yuan; Seniors 90 yuan (over 65 years old, with valid ID). Open 365 days a year, 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM (ticket sales stop at 9:00 PM).

I've been to Madame Tussauds on Victoria Peak in Hong Kong twice. Wax museums are no stranger to me. I was a bit nervous at first, wondering if the two museums would be the same. Fortunately, there are significant differences, and they're constantly evolving with the times. Personally, I think the Hong Kong museum is a bit more realistic.

I went there mainly because my friend really likes Yang Yang.

Overall it's okay

Satisfies a girl's heart

Since I’m a very uncreative person, every time I visit a Madame Tussauds, I have to go in and take a picture…

The Shanghai Pavilion lasted longer, and the characters inside were more complete and lifelike. Except for a few that were indeed a little distorted, I felt very satisfied.

Bee friends who like wax figures and posing can give it a try. It is a good choice when you don’t know what to play.

It was a pretty good experience. I took photos with several of my favorite stars. Unfortunately, I went there alone and all the photos I took were selfies. They were not as good as those taken by others. I recommend it.

Shanghai was chosen from over 30 cities worldwide to become the sixth Madame Tussauds wax museum. The museum features nine themed exhibition areas and nearly 100 lifelike wax figures of celebrities, allowing visitors to interact with their heroes up close and personal, immersing themselves in the world of celebrities and their star power. Admission is 190 yuan for adults.

This should be a very large wax museum in mainland China. Fan Bingbing is so famous that her figure was touched and had to be repaired.

A good wax museum, mainly for taking pictures, invite friends, and the tourism festival is half price

I went there around 6pm. The place was easy to find, but it was a little deserted when I got there. There were only a few tourists taking photos there. The ticket price of 190 is a bit high. There should be less than 100 wax figures of celebrities inside, not as many as I expected... You can get a wax figure commemorative book for an additional 10 yuan. Some famous wax figures inside require tourists to pay extra to take photos, such as Audrey Hepburn, which is a bit of a rip-off. The ticket itself is not cheap. In short, I don’t recommend this attraction, but people who haven’t been there can still go and experience it.

Western celebrities are generally very lifelike, but the grasp of the appearance of Oriental people is still a little different... But overall it's good and fun. Suitable for girls who love taking photos~

I originally came for Yang Yang's wax figure, but it was unexpectedly sent to Wuhan for a tour. I didn't see Yang Yang, but seeing the others was still worth it. Madame Tussauds Shanghai opened the earliest in mainland China, but it feels about the same size as the one in Beijing. There aren't as many celebrities as I'd expected (probably because there weren't many I liked). Having been to the Beijing one before, the wax figures of Zhen Huan and Mei Changsu weren't new to me. The others, including Kris Wu, Wu Xiubo, and William Chan, were pretty good. Maybe because it opened earlier, the figures felt more like wax figures.

I feel like there are so few stars. Overall it’s good. My male god is so handsome.

When my colleagues and I went there on the 14th, it happened to be the Shanghai Tourism Festival. The ticket price was 210 yuan for two people + a brochure. However, there were too many people taking photos and we had to wait for a long time before entering the scene.

There were too many people during the National Day holiday, and there was nothing special. I still prefer to go to places with beautiful scenery.

At Madame Tussauds Shanghai, in addition to taking photos with wax figures of more than 80 Chinese and foreign celebrities, you can also join in interactive experiences such as singing with the "stars", filming movies, and playing basketball.

On my way back, a friend asked me if Madame Tussauds was worth a visit. I figured, for all the idols there, I'd probably have to shell out the cash. At the end of the pavilion is the Ice Age exhibit, complete with a fun 4D movie that's well worth a visit.

I went there in 2008. At that time, it seemed to be the only one in mainland China, so it was quite fresh. Now I guess I don’t feel much about it.

If you have a little free time, it's definitely worth a visit. It's best to avoid weekends and holidays, as the crowd limit is 2,000. However, it's difficult to take photos with over 500 people, because everyone goes there to take photos, right? Hahaha. Also, waiting for the direct elevator is time-consuming. If there aren't many people, you'll just be overcrowded and have to wait for the next one. I recommend taking the sightseeing elevator up each floor. Some of the celebrity statues have props, which makes for fun photos.

It's ok to visit, some are not the same and some are quite similar

By Xiaohui |

I feel that the similarity between the wax figure and the real person is still not very high

By Noko |

Madame Tussauds Shanghai has celebrities such as Leslie Cheung, Jackie Chan, Fan Bingbing, Audrey Hepburn, Monroe, Jackson Beckham, Princess Diana, Barack Obama, etc. You can take photos with these wax figures, which is also Madame Tussauds' marketing strategy. It takes advantage of the public's admiration for celebrities and brings them closer to the celebrities.

There is also a place selling souvenirs at the exit. The prices are a bit expensive, but you can pick a few to buy as souvenirs.

Madame Tussauds is on the 10th floor. There were a lot of people picking up tickets. We bought two tickets on China-TravelNote, and we had to make sure to check the text message indicating which ticket collection window was the wrong one to avoid wasting time. The China-TravelNote window was relatively quiet, so we got our tickets quickly. Other websites had only one entrance, but it was incredibly crowded... The wax museum isn't very large, and there aren't many figures inside, but some are incredibly lifelike. They even charged for taking a photo with Wallace Huo's wax figure... Holy crap... I absolutely can't pay to take a photo with a mannequin!!!

When we arrived at 10:30, it was already packed. We bought tickets online for 143 yuan per person. Madame Tussauds is quite large, with layers of winding floors and many celebrities. There are celebrities from all walks of life, and most of them look very similar to the celebrities themselves. The male celebrities are quite handsome, and the female celebrities are also beautiful, and they all look like real people. Madame Tussauds has a 4D movie theater that is showing Ice Age. When we went there, it happened to be the opening. There was even a piece of real ice in the Ice Age venue, which was surprising. It was super cold. Madame Tussauds also has shopping spots. They sell some celebrity handprints, and there are also dolls standing in rows.

It's quite realistic, but I didn't see Fan Bingbing in dragon robe when I went there. I was a little disappointed. The one made by the brother was too unlike the real one. It was okay when I went in the afternoon. There were not many people. It's better to go there in the afternoon. It's 40 yuan cheaper to buy tickets online. It's good to walk around. It's worth visiting.

There are still a lot of wax figures inside, and new wax figures will be stationed there according to the current situation. Don’t feel embarrassed to take pictures, because everyone is doing the same. And many times you need to queue up to take pictures, that is, several people wait for one wax figure to be free to take pictures. Each one of them is so popular. I like Brother Su the most. I took a lot of pictures with him in my arms.
