The athletic and wispy Kong Yansong from Beijing Sport University has the [Asian online community](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maybelline-face-the-difference) buzzing since she won the online vote for most beautiful legs. She is unusually tall, at 5’10, for a young Chinese woman, and her legs in some photos appear to take over more than half of her body.

She clearly has [waif-like model potential](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skinny-mobile), and I wouldn’t be surprised if worldwide agencies are tripping over themselves to sign her as we speak.
There are a lot of photos of her posted online showing her as an [active runner and tennis player](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/angel-reese-2024-fnaa-style-influencer) on campus. She may not have muscle, but hopefully her extraordinary long legs take her somewhere special in life!
