the theme of this miss hong kong pageant is "proud to be a woman". for the first time, the hosts, judges and guests are composed of an all-female team: led by pearl chan and mayanne mak, with pei-ka ho, yee chan and chuang tze-suan hosting the evening. sally yeh, who has been away from the miss hong kong stage for more than 20 years, returned and performed a medley of songs including "the same moonlight" and "walk away with style" with many younger female singers. the powerful performance can be said to be the best stage for the miss hong kong finals in recent years.

in the debate session among the top four, in response to the topic of "should hong kong have unisex toilets?", ni lelin elaborated her arguments and evidence based on the protection of the safety and privacy of both men and women. her words were well-reasoned and clear, and she indeed "combined beauty and wisdom".
