A woman surnamed Li shared a message on WeChat on Dec. 7, saying that she is looking for a "daughter" to travel with her to Sanya in Hainan province.

Applicants should be outgoing girls between 19 and 24 years of age, according to the post. Li will cover the accommodation and transportation fees, and give the surrogate daughter an iPhone 7 as a gift.

Li lives in Zhengzhou, Henan province. She and her husband have both been retired for a number of years. The couple likes travelling and hiking. Her husband is unavailable to go on the trip to Sanya, and their daughter works in Canada. Therefore, Li decided to seek a travel companion online.

"I want to find a caring girl who can chat with me. College students are preferred," she explained.
