Location & Transportation

Weimu Kaila Red Carpet Wax Art Museum is nestled in the heart of Xiamen’s vibrant Siming District, at 3 Longtou Road. This spot is super easy to reach—just a short walk from the bustling Zhongshan Road pedestrian street. If you’re coming by bus, hop off at BRT Xiàhé Station or Pedestrian Street Station, and you’ll be steps away. For those staying on Gulangyu Island, a quick ferry ride + 10-minute taxi ride will drop you right at the museum’s doorstep. Bonus: The area buzzes with snacks, shops, and ocean views, so plan to explore beyond the museum!

What’s Inside? A Wax Art Wonderland

This isn’t just any wax museum. Weimu Kaila spans 5 floors and 1,500 square meters, packed with 19 themed exhibits and over 70 wax figures. Think celebrities like Jackie Chan and Angelababy, historic figures like Bruce Lee, and even local legends (we’re talking Minnan culture heroes!). Each room feels like a mini-movie set—one moment you’re walking a red carpet with Hollywood stars, the next you’re in an old-school teahouse with閩南（Minnan）folk characters. It’s Instagram gold everywhere!

Culture Meets Creativity

What makes Weimu Kaila special? It’s 100% designed by Chinese artists, so you’ll spot details that celebrate Xiamen’s roots. Look for wax figures dressed in Minnan traditional costumes, scenes of tea-making rituals, and even a replica of a tusi（red-brick）house. They also mix in modern humor—like a wax figure of a tourist struggling with a selfie stick. It’s a fun blend of “wow, that’s realistic!” and “ha, I get the joke.”

More Than Just Wax Figures

The museum isn’t just about posing for photos. There’s a creative workshop where kids (and adults!) can mold clay figures, and a cultural exchange hall with rotating art exhibits. For a quiet moment, head to the rooftop café—it’s got killer views of Xiamen’s skyline. Pro tip: Buy snacks or souvenirs (think handmade tea or seashell art) from the gift shop before you leave.

A Trip for Everyone

Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple, or a family, Weimu Kaila keeps things lively. Each floor has something new: One minute you’re in a movie premiere scene, the next you’re surrounded by ancient warriors. The wax figures are so lifelike, you’ll catch yourself checking if they’re real (they’re not, but it’s still fun to check!). Spend 2–3 hours here to soak it all in, and don’t forget to charge your phone—you’ll want tons of pics!

Why Visit?

If you want to see Xiamen’s artsy side without heavy history lectures, this is your spot. It’s affordable (entry is around ¥60), air-conditioned (perfect for summer), and way less crowded than temples. Plus, the mix of celebrity wax figures and local culture makes it a unique pitstop. Trust me, even if you’ve seen wax museums before, Weimu Kaila’s creativity and Minnan vibes will surprise you!

Tip: Go early! Morning light through the rooftop café windows makes for stunning photos.
