Tahiti's Karen Chong Tops MCI Swimwear Stakes

Chime Long Paradise Amusement Park (長隆歡樂世界) in Guangzhou provided the backdrop for the swimsuit parade filming for this year's Miss Chinese International Pageant (國際中華小姐).

Before the shoot, the 23 contestants were joined by guests Cathy Leung (梁雨恩), Jason Chan (陳柏宇) and Natalie Tong (唐詩詠) for a ride on the roller coasters in the park, including a vertical drop ride. However, due to this being quite a scary ride, three of the girls: Number 7 Li Qinxin (李沁芯), Number 21 Kelly Meng (孟醇) and Number 22 Karen Chong (鍾嘉玲) refused to go on. Then a few more girls including Number 1 Joanne Yew (尤鳳音), Number 11 Desiree Yong (楊詩穎) and Cathy all pulled out too just as they were about to board the ride, but this did not affect filming.

The ladies then donned their swimsuits and posed for the cameras and the photographers around the fountains in the garden and reporters were stunned by Number 1 Joanne's 37 inch hips and cellulite thighs.

Number 22 Karen had the fullest bust of the girls and quickly stole the attention of the cameras with her 36 inch upper measurement.

Vancouver representative, Number 16 Jessica Choi (蔡凱欣) tried to grab some attention by striking some rather crazy poses for the photographers, but pageant director Rosa Chan (陳紫蓮) stepped in and told her not to exaggerate her movements so much.

The finals of the pageant will be held on 26 January 2008.
