Some people now work as “hiking friends”. They go hiking with their clients (客户). They help plan the trip. During the trip, they carry bags and take photos and videos. They need to make their clients happy.
Are these hiking friends really making a lot of money? Chen Wudi, a young man, says no. “I get fewer orders on holidays. It’s hard to book tickets. The roads are busy. So I don’t take many orders.”
A girl named Miss Chen tried the service. She said, “They carried my bag. They took nice photos and videos for me. They were very kind.”
A teacher from a tourism school says: “This job appears because people need the service (服务). But it still needs to become better and safer in the future.”
