Three young Russians are funding their travels around China by asking people to pay to have their picture taken with them, according to a newspaper report.
The trio started their travels last month in the Xinjiang region and plan to travel south to Guangzhou and then back north to Beijing after hiking and hitchhiking around the country, the Chongqing Economic Times reported.
