Trivia

• This is the second time in the history of the pageant where there is only 16 delegates, eliminating the usually 20 delegates.

• This is also the second time where four overseas delegates were chosen. Contestant #3 Kayi Cheung and #8 Janis Leung Wing Sze are from Vancouver. Contestant #11 Kendra Wong Chung Yin is from San Francisco and #16 Jenny Cheng Wai Ching is from Las Vegas. Surprisingly, no delegate from Toronto or Los Angeles made it to Hong Kong (where in recent years, many did).

• First overseas delegate from Las Vegas was chosen.

• Contestant #3 Kayi Cheung participated in the Miss Chinese Vancouver 2005 pageant. She did not make the top 3 but won the Vivacious Beauty Award. #7 Lorretta Chow was a guest performer at the pageant, as the NTSA Vancouver winner that year.

• Contestant #7 Lorretta Chow Mei-Yun is the winner of Fairchild TV's New Talent Singing Awards Vancouver Audition. She represented Vancouver at the New Talent Singing Awards International Finals 2005 in Hong Kong and won the Trendy Image Award. Although she is from Vancouver, she went to Hong Kong to audition and entered the pageant as a local delegate.

• Contestant #9 Grace Wong Kwan-Hing is from New York. She is a graduate of the prestigious Bronx High School of Science, class of 2004, and best friends with Garrick Wong (no relation). Prior to the pageant, she represented New York at the Miss Chinatown USA 2007 pageant. She finished as 1st runner up and was named Miss Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Other beauty queens who won the title were Fala Chen who later represented New York at Miss Chinese International 2005 and finished as 1st runner up. Though Grace is from New York, she went to Hong Kong to compete for the crown and she is considered one of the 12 local Hong Kong delegates instead of the four overseas delegates.

• On the television promotion spot, #3 Kayi Cheung's Chinese name is incorrectly displayed as 張嘉儀 instead of 張嘉兒.

• Out of the 16 contestants, three of them are from University of British Columbia: #3 Kayi Cheung, #7 Lorretta Chow, and #8 Janis Leung. #3 and #7 went on to win 1st and 3rd respectively. With Kayi's win, UBC has produced 5 Miss Hong Kong winners and in the Miss Chinese International pageant, three winners: Bernice Liu, Linda Chung, and Leanne Li.

• The winner, Kayi Cheung is one of the shortest Miss Hong Kongs to date. Standing at 5'4" (five feet, four inches), she joins Miss Hong Kong 1997 Virginia Yung and Miss Hong Kong 2001 Shirley Yeung as the list of shortest Miss Hong Kongs.

• Contestant #4 Mandy Wong was a student at The Hong Kong Academy For Performing Arts.
