Let’s talk about Chinese Actresses Four Ancient Beauties: Xi Shi, Diao Chan, Wang Zhaojun, and Yang Yuhuan. Over the years, the tales of their stunning looks have likely been exaggerated, especially since they caught the attention of emperors and played significant roles in shaping Chinese history. It’s fascinating to note that three of these beauties were linked to the downfall of kingdoms, and their stories ended in heartbreak.
While beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder, there are some women whose allure is simply undeniable. These modern-day icons are often called the Xinjiang Ladies, as they come from the Xinjiang province in Northwest China

You might recognize her as Gulnezar or just Nazha, who began her journey as a model. Thanks to her striking beauty, she caught the eye of talent scouts and made her acting debut in 2012 with Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky. Interestingly, she also has Uyghur roots.

Tong Ling ten years older than our first two ladies, but you’d never guess it just by looking at her. In her earlier acting days, she played the younger version of one of the main characters in the 2008 Chinese-Hong Kong TV remake of C’est La Vie, Mon Chéri. She hails from the Sibo ethnic group.

Dai Si was born with the name Mingmukedaisi Kuerban. She kicked off her acting career back in 2014 with a role in the TV drama, Tong Tian Detective Dee. However, it was her supporting role in Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms that really caught people’s attention, even though that show aired a bit earlier. Since then, she’s taken on several projects in supporting roles, but I’m really looking forward to the day she gets to headline her own drama series—I hope that happens soon! By the way, she’s of Uyghur descent.

Reyizha Alimujiang really made her mark in 2011 when she landed a role as Ye Lan Yi in Empresses in the Palace. She also had a short but unforgettable appearance in Tribes and Empires: Storm of Prophecy, and you can see her shining as the lead in Heroes of the North. Just a little side note.
She belongs to the Kazakh ethnic group from Xinjiang, but she was actually born and raised in Beijing. Personally, I think Madina Memet is the most beautiful, with Tong Liya coming in as a close second. For my third pick, I’d choose Nazha over Dilraba because I find Nazha’s face to be more approachable. But honestly, rankings don’t really matter—beauty is all about personal perspective. Who are your top three?
