Here's a slightly unconventional way to pop the question.

One woman in China proposed to her boyfriend by displaying her proposal on 900 taxis.

The message, which was displayed prominently on the luminous taxi top signs read "Zhang Jian Feng, I want to marry you, do you dare to marry me?"

The woman paid the taxi firm over $1400 to get its entire fleet of taxis to display the message from 5-7pm on Thursday last week.

And if you're wondering, he said yes.

Most netizens were left swooning over the proposal.

"I'm so jealous. I don't have anyone to propose to me," said one netizen on Weibo.

"I'm old but I want to find a man like this," another added.

While others were not as kind.

"Why is this girl chasing the man? The man won't treasure the girl for sure," one said.

"What's wrong with this guy? He needs a girl to propose to him?" another asked.

This is not the first time taxis have been used to carry bold declarations of love in China.

In June last year, a man also ran a 10-day ad campaign on taxi top signs that reportedly said: "I will remember you when it is rainy. Miss Fang, be with me please!"
