China welcomed its first Miss World on Sunday, with Internet chat rooms filled with praise for the 23-year-old beauty queen. Miss Grenada, Vivian Burkhardt, finished in the top 16.
Zhang Zi Lin, a Beijing secretary, scooped the title on Saturday on the southern Chinese resort island of Hainan. Micaela Reis of Angola came second and Carolina Moran Gordillo of Mexico was third, according to the pageant's website.
Trinidad and Tobago's Valene Maharaj, who placed fourth in the competition, was crowned Queen of the Caribbean.
Some 106 contestants participated in the pageant. It is the first time an East Asian has won the contest.
Miss Grenada will return to the island tomorrow, December 4.
