China's Yu Wenxia has been crowned the 2012 Miss World. This
is the second time Miss China has been awarded the title. The last time was in
2007 when Zhang Zilin took the honour.
The
first runner-up is Sophie Elizabeth Moulds of Wales and the second runner-up is
Jessica Michelle Kahawaty of Australia.
The
23-year-old Yu is a music student who says she wants to become a music teacher.
This
is the first time for the Inner Mongolian city of Ordos to host the
international beauty pageant.
The
city is one of the richest regions in China thanks to its abundant natural
resources. It hopes the world event will raise its profile for economic
development and tourism.
Sanya,
another Chinese city, has hosted the contest several times.
