A man in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province presented China's most expensive "roses" to his beloved.

The man, surnamed Chen, proposed to his girlfriend with 999 roses made from 100-yuan banknotes and succeeded in gaining her hand.

The arrangement cost about 200,000 yuan ($32,980), which he has been saving since he started working in 2009.
