The Peak + Madame Tussauds (香港杜莎夫人蜡像馆)
October 8th, 2008 | by jys |After we get back from Stanley market (by bus, forgot where we stopped, the bus makes me feel sick..), we took the MTR to the Peak + Madame Tussauds (香港杜莎夫人蜡像馆). I thought it’s very near to the MTR but when we followed the sign board (misleading lar..), go straight, go up the hill, go down the hill and walked and walked and walked for about half an hour, then only we reached our destination. arggg….so tired lar…
It was already almost 8pm when we reached there and the Madame Tussauds closed at 10pm. We were so shock to see the queue was SOOOO long. Really shouldn’t go to Stanley market lar, if only we reached this place earlier, then we can probably avoid this long long queue. What to do now, have to join the queue lor.
After queuing for like half an hour, we only get to the main entrance (see photo above). Still got a long long way to go lar…Although we already bought our tickets from the travel agency but we still need to change to “real” ticket.
After we get our ticket means we can go up to the peak? I hope so too, but we still need to queue and wait for the train to come…
Half an hour later, after sweating and smelling all kinds of different smell from different people, I managed to squeeze myself into the train. I can’t really feel my leg anymore. It took us about 15 minutes to reach the peak. It was already 9pm.
We rushed in to the Madame Tussauds because it closed at 10pm and when we stepped in, it’s full of people. I didn’t have time to take each and every celebrity because there were so many people till we need to queue and take turns to take picture with each of the celebrity. Really picked the wrong time to go lar, not suitable to go during a weekend, some more school holidays.
We quickly walked around and take photos with all the celebrity, really ‘yao sat chor, mou fong gor’ cos we queued for so long only managed to come up here and the ticket is not cheap also. But don’t worry, I still managed to take some for you guys to see..
After finished taking pictures with all the celebrities, we went up to the peak to see the Hong Kong night view.
After the views we walked out and again we need to queue.. Arggggg…
Luckily we managed to get into the train about half an hour’s time later. What a day.. It’s really worth to come, some celebrity really looks exactly like the real person, where else some not so lar.. and the night view is really superb. But remember, don’t go on a weekend, don’t go on a school holiday, don’t go too late, maybe around 6pm like that is the best, else you will suffer.. like me…

Oh dear, I’m going to reveal my suakuness here — I didn’t know there’s a Madam Tussauds in HK. But the wax figures look as life-like as those in London.
Jys:

Jys:
