Ina Lu ( Chinese name: 呂怡慧 ), born 1982 in Taiwan, is a South African Chinese beauty hailing from Johannesburg. She is the reigning Miss Chinese International 2006.

[edit] Pageant experience

Ina won the crown of Miss Chinese South Africa 2005, organized by the Chinese community from China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan on January 29, 2005. She beat out 11 other delegates including her sister, Yee Wan Lu. She then represented Johannesburg at the Miss Chinese International Pageant 2006. Being considered a favorite due to her figure and smile, she won Johannesburg's first crown. She beat out favorites like Tracy Ip (who did not reach the final 5) of Hong Kong, Crystal Li of Vancouver, and Elva Ni of Toronto for the crown. Before Ina's win, 1995's Miss Chinese South Africa Linda Li was Johannesburg's best showing at Miss Chinese International, placing in the Top 5.

[edit] Life after the pageant

Instead of taking an offer to join the Hong Kong entertainment industry right away by signing with TVB, Ina returned to Johannesburg to continue her studies.
