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.
