VietNamNet Bridge – Miss World 2007 arrived in HCM City today, January 7, to attend a fashion event.

Zhang Zilin has come to Vietnam four times to participate in many events. This time the beauty queen will appear at a fashion show as the representative for a fashion brand.

She came to Vietnam the first time in May 2007 to shoot the cover for a fashion magazine. After being crowned Miss World 2007 in Sanya in December 2007, she returned to Vietnam in June 2008 for a charity trip and to prepare for the Miss World 2010. She came to Vietnam again in October 2008 for charity activities.

In 2009, the Chinese beauty queen and Miss World 2008 Ksenia Sukhinove returned to Vietnam once again to do charity.

Zhang Zilin is a beauty queen and fashion model who won Miss China World in 2007 and was crowned Miss World 2007, representing the People's Republic of China. She is the first Miss World of East Asian origin.

Zhang was born in Shijiazhuang, Hebei, on March 22, 1984. She then moved to Beijing, where she attended high school from 1996 to 2002. She later completed her studies at the University of Science and Technology Beijing and obtained a degree in business administration in 2006. Zhang is now working as a fashion model.

Zhang's career in modeling and pageantry started in 2003 where she participated in a beauty pageant organized by New Silk Road Modeling Agency. As a first timer in pageantry, Zhang only managed to land herself in the top 10 due to lack of experience. However, she was later discovered by the executive manager of the agency, Lee Xiao Bai, who declared that Zhang had the potential to become a supermodel. Since then Zhang has graced the runways in major fashion capitals of the world including Paris and Berlin.

In 2006, she was shortlisted as one of the top ten professional supermodels during the Chinese Fashion and Culture Awards. After that she participated in Giorgio Armani's 2007 Autumn/Winter Collection show in Paris and later earned herself the title of "Top Model of the Year" from New Silk Road modeling agency.

In 2007, she was crowned Miss World at The Crown of Beauty Theater.
