MISS WORLD CONTESTANTS VISIT THE PULANNA FACTORY

Tuesday, 20 November 2007

From Tianjin it was a 40 minute drive to the famous Pulanna natural herbal cosmetics and pharmaceutical factory, where the contestants were welcomed in a blaze of colour by women dressed in traditional costumes waving white handkerchieves and a large and equally colourfully clad band. It was a highly impressive sight.

All the contestants, Julia Morley, the Pulanna chairman and the reigning Miss World posed for a large group photograph before a ceremonial tree planting took place.

Several contestants used spades to put earth around the newly planted 'Beauty Tree', commemorating the Miss World visit.

MISS WORLD CONTESTANTS ENJOY THE VIEW

Sunday, 18 November 2007

This morning 26 Miss World contestants enjoyed some spectacular views of Sanya's coastline from the Deer Park.

A 40 minute drive from the Crowne Plaza Sanya hotel, home to Miss World 2007, this hill-top national park overlooking Sanya City is a very popular tourist destination.

It is mid-winter on the island of Hainan, yet the sun was beating down on this tropical paradise which has so much to offer the international holidaymaker.

Miss Dominican crowned beach beauty

Tuesday, 13 November 2007

On an imposing set in the middle of the beautiful Yalong Bay beach, right outside the Holiday Inn Resort Hotel, Ada De La Cruz's smile spoke a thousand words. The representative of the Dominican Republic had triumphed in this evening's Beach Fashion Show, the first of the Fast Track events at this year's Miss World Festival.

Tatana Kucharova, the reigning Miss World and one of the Beach Fashion Show judges, presented the trophy and the applause rang out from the watching crowd. Now Dominican Republic is guaranteed her place in the Semi-Final of the Miss World Pageant on Saturday 1 December, when the eyes of the world will be focused on the tropical island paradise that is Sanya.

Earlier in the evening, 106 contestants had been introduced to the audience in their beachwear as a breeze blew in from the South China Sea on another beautiful Sanya evening. The judges' first task was to pick 20 Semi-Finalists on a majority voting system. A tie for 20th place saw 21 contestants make the second round. They were the representatives of Austria, Belgium, Brazil, People's Republic of China, Dominican Republic, Ethiopia, Grenada, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Korea, Lebanon, Lithuania, Malaysia, Mexico, Mongolia, Philippines, Spain, Trinidad & Tobago, Ukraine and Venezuela.

From here, 5 finalists were chosen by the judges - People's Republic of China, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Lithuania and Mexico - and after a short but agonising wait, the top three places were announced. In third place was the People's Republic of China and in second place Jamaica, with Dominican Republic taking the highly coveted trophy.
