(More customer reviews)The Denver person is wrong, the majority of chinese people are not dark skinned if they are it is because their skin have been tan. I should know because I'm chinese. I just got this doll yesterday and I think her face does look like most chinese people you will see in HK or Shanghai. Her hair and shoes are a little strange. I've never seen traditional hair styles like this before. Her shoes are not the kind of shoes worn with a traditional Mandarin dress. Overal I think she is worth the $20 bucks.

On the first day of the First Moon of the lunar calendar, the most important celebration in China begins. Homes are decorated with paper banners adorned with happy wishes, pretty flowers and platters of oranges and tangerine. At midnight on Chinese New Year's Eve, fireworks fire and the festival begins.
One of the most wondrous spectacles of the festival is the dragon dance. Many people carry long silk dragons, dancing in procession as musicians play gongs and drums. A happy celebrant is dressed in a silky red gown decorated with yellow flowers and a phoenix, a symbol of happiness and joy. Flowers and butterflies, symbols of long life and beauty, are in her upswept hair. She is very happy to receive the gift of a red Lai-See Envelope. Doll measures 12" tall.
