Tourists scaling the Great Wall of China can now get takeout delivered by drone

Hungry tourists hiking on the Great Wall of China can now get their lunch delivered – from the air. Chinese food delivery giant Meituan says its new drone service, announced last week, will bring food, drinks, and other goods such as medical supplies to customers at a far-flung section of the ancient monument on the outskirts of Beijing. It’s the capital’s first drone service, adding to a fast-growing drone delivery business across China, which is the world’s largest manufacturer and exporter of civilian consumer drones. The industry has brought convenience to people living in both cities and hard-to-reach rural areas.
