The 110 contestants in this year's Miss World finals arrive in Beijing Tuesday.

During their four-day stay in Beijing they will see the Great Wall, the Temple of Heaven and other sights. They will also go shopping with local people.

On Friday evening, the contestants will participate in a fund-raising banquet for disabled and orphaned children at the Great Hall of the People.

Beijing is the last leg of their charity tour of China. The Miss World hopefuls have already visited Hong Kong, Xi'an, and Shanghai.
