Actress Connie Chan Po-chu checks out her wax model as it is unveiled at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, the first figure to appear in full Chinese regalia. The model's costume was inspired by the musical Only You, set in the Yuan Dynasty, in which Chan currently stars.
'I am ecstatic to learn that my wax figure is the first ancient Chinese-inspired wax figure, and I hope it will inspire more tourists and residents to take an interest in ancient Chinese arts,' said Chan.
Revered as the 'fan's princess', Chan began her acting career in Chinese opera before entering the movie industry in 1959, starring in more than 200 movies. She came out of retirement in 1999 to star in A Sentimental Journey and reunited with the same production team this month for the Yuan Dynasty period drama.
