The pageant began at Ying Dong Theatre in China’s Guangzhou province on November 22.
In the traditional costume section, 27-year-old Quynh wore an Ao Dai (the iconic long dress) and conical hat, reflecting Vietnamese culture.
The pageant’s jury believes this year’s contestants are particularly knowledgeable and already boast established profiles. Asian representatives from Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, India, and the Republic of Korea were warmly applauded.
The best ten contestants were selected to the final round on November 23. Six will make it through to the decisive question and answer session.
