Banknote wrap A new bizarre beauty trend which sees women trying to wrap a banknote around their wrist has taken Chinese social media by storm.

In this so-called 'fitness' test, a participant is deemed to have skinny arms if the bill could wrap all the way around her wrists. Huanqiu, affiliated with the People's Daily Online reports.

The unusual test comes just weeks after the country went wild at the 'A4 waist' challenge, which saw women measuring their midriffs with the width of A4 paper, as well as the 'iPhone 6 leg'.

To take part in the challenge, all that is needed is a Chinese banknote which measures about six inches long and three inches wide and a smart phone.
