I got a few almost-angry feedback emails from some of my Taiwanese friends on the quick "Taiwan’s Beauty : Top Most Beautiful Taiwanese Girls" that I decided to do a follow up. Instead of me telling you about the gorgeous Taiwanese celebrities that I know I thought I’ll just share with you some of what Taiwan locals who actually know something about Taiwan think about Taiwanese celebrities. I asked some of my friends to give me a list of their top 3 Taiwanese girls (and boys, might follow up on that) and this is what they came up with. You’ll notice that I didn’t do as bad as some suggested.
Sonia Sui 隋棠 Sui Tang
楊謹華 Cheryl Yang
Bianca Bai 白歆惠 Bái Xīn Huì
蕭蕭
Patty Hou (Pei-Cen Hou) 侯佩岑
Cyndi Wang 王心凌 Wáng Xīnlíng
Vivian Hsu 徐若瑄 Xú Ruòxuān
Genie Zhuo Wen Xuan 卓文萱
Elva Hsiao Ya Xuan
A-mei 阿妹 Zhang Huimei Chang Hui-mei 張惠妹
Lin Chi Ling 林志玲
Janet Lee Li Qian Rong (李蒨蓉)
張鈞甯 Chang Chun-ning Janine
Barbie Hsu 徐熙媛 Dà S (大S)
Brigitte Lin 林青霞 Lín Qīngxiá or Brigitte Lin Ching Hsia
(a more classic actress, more here)
Now, honestly, which list do you like better? :)
A big thanks goes to my wonderful Taiwanese friends – Stella, Amanda, Ruby, Doris, Xiou Min, Mike, Vanina, Winnie & Sofia – for helping me out with this odd survey.

Carrie – My list was better, right? :) actually, A-Mei is pretty good looking.

Cyndi Wang's picture… mistake, not hers.
Fili An | April 17th, 2009 at 1:49 pm #
YeinJee – thanks. My bad. Hopefully corrected now.

ok, foreigner's view of beauty………… for me, she's the worst looking on the list, hehe :)

PaserbyJ – Oh wow. I have to say that I've been in Tainan for quite a while but never saw anything quite like this girl :) Yeah, I agree, she's gorgeous.
She looks like a very traditional girl :) ( http://fashion-photography-album.blogspot.com/200... )
Any other recommendations?

The list is a bit wired, no comment~XD

Akemi is not Twnese!!!!! Even Amei is not bad looking, she is not a typical beauty ~well. I think some of the list provided are just their fans~

PasserbyJ – "Akemi Katsuki was born in Brazil, but growed up in Tokyo. Now at 20 and based in Taiwan, she is dubbed as the hottest pin-up girl in Taiwan after supermodel Lin Chi Ling." I guess someone thought she's considered to be Taiwanese.

Still wierd! Her parents are Brasilian and Janpanese, and she doesnt even speak any of Chinese, Liz is much more like Twnese, she speaks Chinese very well, her Mom is from Tainan. She is very pretty, too, Here's Liz picture I find.

Page was not found, pity! Which aspect is traditional?:D I wont think she is traditional, she has angel face w/ a devil body. (ps Her dad is from Paraguay)
My favorite Twanese celebrities are ( my searching skill is bad, only can offer you Chinese name)pictures by googling the Chinese name , hope you can find some!
關穎
孫芸芸
蔡依倫
蔡依珊
I think they all are really pretty Twanese!!

Sorry, last post didnt arrange well. Due to the fact that 蔡依倫 and 蔡依珊 doesnt have blog, and 孫's seldom update. So I originally think no need to recommend 關穎's blog, cuz I got only one blog, think u may find all of them easily, anyways, here's her blog, she updates quite often. Here's one of her blog article

My friend, Lezlie is Taiwanese and beautiful and she speaks fluent English but she still thinks that a Caucasian guys, one being her ex have a thing against Asians particularly Taiwanese. Me, being bi have reassured her that this is not the case but she would take no advice from me. I am to prove her wrong so please comment your opinion!!

[...] Taiwan’s Celebrities : Top Taiwanese Celebrity Beauties by my Taiwanese friends [...]

without those makeup, they can look like a plain jane.
like sui tang, i saw her in a variety show without makeup, she is skinny like a bamboo stick and ugly without makeup. elva also look ugly without her thick eye makeup because her eyes are small and face is long. ah mei and cyndi do not consider as chinese beauty. both of their mouth look distorted. Da S is ugly too if not for those aesthetic surgery, she wouldn't be that beautiful, she will look more like a monkey because of those ears and small face and eyes. I don't know what is considered beauty nowadays, because most celebrities go for plastic surgery and they are not even natural beauty and they don't deserved to be called beauty. more of like fake beauties.
above are my honest opinions.

Great list. And may I say, they truly are all hot and pretty. Thanks for the share.

Such pretty looking young ladies! I really do believe that Taiwanese people looks so naturally good without make ups and stuffs like.

I think Vivian Hsu is more “cute” then gorgeous but she can look cute and gorgeous at the same time :) Btw does she have a oval face shape?
