There are good samaritans everywhere, as a young Russian couple found out in a small town in China. A Chinese doctor came to the couple's rescue when their money ran out, and they could not afford a room in a hotel.

The young Russian couple ran out of money while they were backpacking in China, according to the South China Morning Post. During the Chinese Lunar holiday, the couple had been planning to visit Kunming, which is in Yunnan province of China. But as they boarded a wrong bus in Chengdu, they ended up in Yibin, which is in the same province as Chengdu -- Sichuan province.

Completely broke and with no place to stay in Yibin, the Russian couple, whose names were not revealed, broke into a hospital to spend the night. They were, however, soon discovered by the hospital staff, according to the South China Morning Post.

Instead of reprimanding the Russian couple or turning them over to the legal authorities, a doctor at the hospital made sure that they did not have to spend the night outside in the cold. He arranged for their stay in a hotel and paid for the cost of the room. 

The doctor took the help of his English speaking son-in-law to communicate with the Russian couple. According to the report, the Russian couple expressed their appreciation for the Chinese doctor.

Meanwhile, Russia Beyond the Headlines is reporting that Russia's capital city, Moscow, is set to witness a surge in tourists from China this year, as it marks the 100th anniversary of the Russian revolution. The total number of tourists visiting Moscow is expected to exceed 18 million in 2017, according to the Russian authorities. 

One of the largest groups of tourists visiting Russia is from China, while for China, Russia is reportedly the fifth-largest source market for its tourism industry.
