The little girl got into difficulties in the indoor swimming pool of the hotel in Xishuangbanna, southwestern China’s Yunnan province, on February 10.
She was pulled from the water and initially showed no signs of life.
The woman who intervened, Peng Lingmin, from the southwestern province of Sichuan, was relaxing by the pool while wearing a qipao and applying a facial treatment mask.
She dashed to help the girl and resuscitated her.
Peng’s sister, whom she was travelling with, filmed the incident and called an ambulance.
