Miss World 2010 contestants made the most of their final day in Beijing by visiting two great icons of ancient and modern China, the Great Wall and the Olympic Stadium. On their arrival at Great Wall, contestants were greeted by shopkeepers and early tourists.
Back in Beijing contestants headed off to what quickly has become one of the icons of modern China, the Bird’s Nest Olympic Stadium. At the stadium the girls were given the privilege of visiting the presidential box, while enjoying a special selection of entertainment from the 2008 Olympic opening ceremony. After that, the beauties headed back to the hotel where they packed for the next leg of their grand tour of China: to Ordos, Inner Mongolia, home to Genghis Khan’s mausoleum.
