China has a tremendous resource pool of 1.2 billion people. With more than half of these being women, it's not surprising that it has some of the world's most beautiful women.

STOMPer Cassonova received these photos and write-ups via email which re-affirms the point above. They are a tantalising survey of Chinese beauty.

He travels quite frequently to China and says he agrees with the selection, although his No.1 city would be Changsha. But then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So, one man's beauty may be another man's personification of ugly.

Says Cassonova: "The real test is to go to the smaller cities and not the big capitals because the creme de la crme of Chinese beauties flock to the big cities to make their fortunes."

Similarly, the ones that populate Singapore's KTV joints can't be used as satisfactory gauges because the top of the pops come here, he adds.

Which is your choice, he asks the experienced "hands" and the well-travelled amongst Stompers?
