Drones Now Deliver Food and Supplies to Tourists on the Great Wall of China

Chinese tech company Meituan's innovative service enhances convenience for visitors at the historic site.

  • Meituan's drones deliver food, drinks, and medical supplies to the Badaling section of the Great Wall.
  • The delivery fee is just 56 cents, matching the cost of traditional road deliveries.
  • Drones complete deliveries in five minutes, significantly faster than the 50-minute walk.
  • The service operates from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with drones later used for trash collection.
  • This initiative is part of China's broader push to develop its 'low-altitude economy.'
