The second season of Chinese budget travel show Sisters over Flowers is set to return to Shanghai's Dragon TV on March 5, according to a press conference in Shanghai on Monday. Chinese actresses Lin Chi-ling and Wang Lin will continue their travels by heading to South America during the second season together with the new hosts Song Dandan, Jin Chen and Jiang Yan.

Following the format laid out in the original South Korean travel-reality show that aired on TVN, the Chinese edition sees the five actresses paired with two younger actors as their "luggage boys." The first season, which starred actors Ma Tianyu and Aarif Lee as the show's luggage boys on a trip to Turkey and Italy, became a hit on Dragon TV after debuting on March 15, 2015.

Who the two new luggage boys are still remains a mystery after the press conference as organizers revealed the answer won't be unveiled until season two's debut.

According to the conference, the group will tour the beaches and jungles of South America as well as Iguazu Falls.

The 54-year-old comedian Song joked that she wasn't sure if she could appear on the show at her age.

"I'd heard of a show called Grandpas over Flowers, so I thought I was going to join Grandmas over Flowers."
