Waxworks on a high

The age-old English tourist attraction of Madame Tussaud's is going Asian. The London-based waxworks exhibition is opening a permanent operation in Hong Kong's Peak Tower, atop Victoria Peak, in August..

Movie star Jackie Chan will be the first local to sit for the Hong Kong Madame Tussaud's.

Madame Tussaud's has two other exhibitions out of London, one in Amsterdam, which opened in 1970, and another in Las Vegas, which opened last year. A New York venue opens later this year.
