This year's competition was not judged by a panel and instead, the winners were selected by the audience, who cast their votes via the telephone lines and the internet. Hot favourite Number 1 Eunis Yao (姚佳雯) lived up to expectations to take both the Miss Asia winner title and the award for Perfect Figure. First runner-up position went to Number 3 Belinda Yan (顏子菲), who also took the Miss Photogenic award and third place went to Taiwan's Number 9 Lene Lai (賴琳恩).Eunis a 23-year old masters student and is a veteran on the beauty pageant scene, having previous won awards in the Miss Chinese Cosmos Pageant in 2004 and winning the South China heat of the 2006 Miss Asia pageant. The show opened with the announcement of the three contestants who had won a second chance to perform in the final after another round of audience votes. The three lucky ladies were Number 4 Melody Yao (姚鳳鳳), Number 5 Tanya Manifold (徐妮雅) and Number 18 Iris Chen (陳莎). However, the ladies still left the competition empty handed.
