New | Do you recognise any of these celebrities? China's wax museum 'stuck in the past' with worst likenesses

A wax museum in China has become a hit for featuring the “worst” celebrity wax figures, according to Chinese media reports.

The museum in Chengdu, Sichuan province, like Hong Kong’s Madame Tussauds, houses wax figures of several household names, including martial artist and actor Jet Li, movie star Jacky Chan, pop singer Jay Chou and actress Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li.

One difference, however, is that the figures appear much less shiny and realistic, and appear to have a rather outdated fashion sense, Chengdu Commercial Daily reported.

Pictures of the museum’s wax figures have gone viral on Chinese social media.

“Zhang Ziyi and [actress] Gong Li look like they just came back from square dancing,” one Weibo user wrote.
