My Guangdong tourist card granted me a 50% discount at the wax museum in Canton Tower. Since I needed to stay nearby for my final rabies shot the next day in Zhuhai, I thought, why not? It turned out to be more enjoyable and surprising than I expected, lasting about half an hour. I couldn’t stay too long, though, as the figures looked so lifelike they made me feel uneasy. After snapping a few selfies, I had to leave. Can you guess who they are? No introduction is necessary. I believe it’s Yuan Longping, a renowned rice scientist known for creating the first hybrid rice varieties in the 1970s, which Wikipedia says was part of the Green Revolution in agriculture. There’s Mr. Jackie Chan, but I’m not sure how to flip the photo! Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Stephen Hawking, and Einstein are all sitting together at the same table! Then there are two astronauts, along with someone who doesn’t quite belong there. I’m not sure of their names, but they might be Liu Yang, the first Chinese female astronaut, and Yang Liwei, the first male Chinese astronaut. "He'll be back?" Me and Die Hard.
My Guangdong tourist card offered a 50% discount for the wax museum at the Canton Tower. I had to remain nearby since my last rabies vaccination was scheduled for the next day in Zhuhai. So, I figured why not? It couldn't be that bad, and I was pleasantly surprised and entertained for about half an hour. However, I couldn't stay too long because the figures were so realistic that they creeped me out. After taking a few selfies, I had to leave. Can you guess who they are?
