YINGTAN NEAR SHANGHAI WAS THE SMALL CITY THAT HOSTED MISS TOURISM QUEEN OF THE YEAR 2011 WHICH WAS ORGANISED BY MALAYSIAN COMPANY D'TOUCH WHICH OWNS THE TITLE.

THE FINALS WERE HELD INSIDE YINGTAN SPORTS STADIUM WITH A CAPACITY CROWD OF 32,000! I HAD NEVER SEEN SUCH A RESPONSE BEFORE! IN CHINA, THEY DO THINGS ON A COLOSSAL SCALE! 

A HUGE STAGE WAS BUILT FOR THE OCCASION AND THE WINNER WAS MISS INDIA, FOLLOWED BY MISS UKRAINE, MISS POLAND, MISS MALAYSIA AND MISS KOREA.  MISS MALAYSIA WAS THE BEAUTIFUL EUGENEE OOI LEE SHEN FROM PENANG. SHE IS SO LOVELY!

CONGRATULATIONS TO TAN SRI DANNY OOI WHO SPONSORED MY TRIP TO YINGTAN, CHINA AS A JUDGE.

TAN SRI DANNY OOI HAS MADE MALAYSIA PROUD IN THE BEAUTY PAGEANT INDUSTRY AS HIS TITLES LIKE MISS TOURISM INTERNATIONAL AND MISS TOURISM QUEEN OF THE YEAR ARE INTERNATIONALLY ACCEPTED AND COVETED!

BELOW ARE THE CONTESTANTS DURING PRE-JUDGING IN YINGTAN HOTEL.
