BEIJING Shea Weber Adidas Jersey ,？June 1？(Xinhuanet) -- George Clooney sits in a yard below an engraved archway, while Bruce Lee jumps out through a wall. The Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou smiles as he leans on a wooden pillar, red lanterns hanging above his head, while the Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang waves his hands to signal the next phase of music.
Welcome to a brush with fame with wax celebrities at the newly opened Madame Tussauds' waxworks in Beijing.
After two years of preparation, the museum lifted the red curtain on Saturday and welcomed its first visitors. It's the fourth Madame Tussauds in China, after Hong Kong, Shanghai and Wuhan.
Located in the central axis of Beijing at Qianmen Street, a traditional commercial street behind Tiananmen Square, the three-story building features eight zones, including The Spirit of China, Leaders, Sports, Music, Film and Television.
"Beijing is the ideal place for the 16th Madame Tussauds. It's an energetic city with a great history and culture," said Craig Dunkerley, head of new openings Asia for the Merlin Entertainments Group, which owns the Madame Tussauds brand.
Despite the hot weather, long lines of visitors - young couples, families with children, and students - waited for their turn to see the waxworks. Many had pre-booked their tickets online.
"It took me half an hour to wait in the line and another hour to see the exhibits," said Liu Xi, who bought an opening-day ticket online 11 days ago. She said the large crowds meant there was no opportunity to have her photo taken with her favorite stars.
The museum has room for 2,000 visitors at a time, according to Wang Rui, director of Madame Tussauds Beijing, who added that the opening-day allocation of 3,000 tickets sold out quickly online.
Wang Shemin, who visited Madame Tussauds in London in the 1980s, said he loved the traditional Chinese folding screen behind the wax figure of Clooney.
"I can feel it is Beijing. I know all these Chinese stars," said the 60-year-old.
In addition to decorated traditional courtyards, alleys, rickshaws and red lanterns reminiscent of Beijing, the distinguishing feature of the Beijing attraction is the Spirit of China zone, complete with figures of iconic celebrities who have shaped Chinese history.
The writer Lao She, Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang, filmmaker Zhang Yimou, the internet tycoon Li Yanhong and the real estate giant Pan Shiyi are all featured in the zone, which comes directly after the Leaders zone which features world figures such as US President Barack Obama and Russia's Vladimir Putin. All the wax figures were shipped from the United Kingdom.
"The Spirit of China zone has been specially tailored for Beijing, to highlight the role China's capital city plays as a center of culture and politics," said Wang Rui.
It takes 20 workers about six months to finish each figure, most of whom wear clothes donated by the celebrities depicted.
The makeup and clothing on the figure of Mei Lanfang were applied by Mei's dresser and members of the opera giant's family, according to Wang Rui.
Apart from getting up close and personal with the stars, the museum's interactive features are likely to become major attractions.
Visitors can experience the final 10 seconds of a spaceship's liftoff with astronaut Yang Liwei, play tennis with Li Na, sing karaoke with Jay Chou, play the drums with the rock star Cui Jian, or enjoy the film-making process with the directors Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang.
At present, fewer than 100 figures are on display, but Wang Rui said more figures of successful people will be added every year.
"I will come and visit again if new figures are added," said Wu Xin, a college student who was there to see the wax figure of his idol, the basketball star Kobe Bryant.

Yes, homework is definitely one of the most important things for all college
students. If you are in college, you need to make sure that you are doing all
your homework assignments on time and in an efficient manner. Not only does
homework give you the educational learning and understanding but also ensures a
faster personal development and growth. But everything that looks or sounds so
awesome may have some negative aspects as well. I know everyone asks you to do
your homework assignments on a regular basis for the best of your learning but
it is ok to not do homework at times.
When you have too much homework,
it often leads to stress and depression. The stress is caused not because you
can’t do your homework assignments but because you have so much work that it
becomes difficult for you to do all of it. It is extremely essential for you to
do all your homework assignments and hence when you are not able to do so, you
become tensed and stressed out. This creates several psychological and health
problems and thus it is required that you take care of your stress
levels.
Not only do you get stressed but at times your confidence and
self-belief also keeps getting lower because of all the homework. There are
times when you are unable to do or understand some aspect of some assignment
given to you and in that situation, you need someone to help you go through them
but if you are not able to understand or complete your assignment for some or
the other reason, your morale goes down and thus you are not able to do
everything. Homework needs to build on your confidence and not lower it in any
way. And hence if you feel at any point of time that homework is leading to
generation of stress, tension or some problem in you, you need to get over that
and make sure you don’t let that happen.
Homework is given for you to
learn better and develop additional traits and characteristics. And thus, when
you know that homework is in turn leading to some adverse impacts, you should
make sure that you don’t do it at times. It&. Cheap Jerseys From
