Meituan has started drone (无人机) delivery (运送) service, Shenzhen Evening News reported.
At Galaxy World in Longgang District, a reporter from the newspaper watched how a drone delivered a meal on Thursday. The drone slowly landed and a door above the Meituan Intelligent Dining Cabinet (智能餐柜) opened slowly. Finally, the drone put the meal box inside the cabinet.
"It takes about 15 minutes to place the order and receive the meal. A lot of people have tried the drone delivery service here," said a woman who just took her meal box out from the cabinet. During 2022, food and drinks such as noodles, fruits, coffee and milk tea and even flowers have been delivered through Meituan's drone delivery system, the report said.
The company said that it completed over 100, 000 drone deliveries last year. Meituan started to explore drone delivery service in 2017 and started the try in early 2021. The service has a delivery time of about 12 minutes, which is less than traditional delivery methods, according to the company.
There are only a few cities in the world with the advantages of drone delivery service, and Shenzhen is taking the lead in China, according to the report. However, there are still some problems with this kind of service.

THIS IS HOW READING HAS CHANGED
CAVE(洞穴) PAINTINGS Cave paintings are the oldest pictures. Some of them,like the beautiful pictures in the caves in the north of Spain,are almost 30,we get an idea of how the people felt when drawing them. That's what the painters wanted to show others—hopes and fears. |
STONES AND PAPYRUS(纸莎草) Sometime between 4000 and 3000 BCE(公元前),people in Egypt developed the skill of writing. They put writing on stones first. But it was impossible to carry the stones from place to place. The invention of papyrus made it. It was easier to correct mistakes,too. |
PAPER AND PRINTING Paper was invented in China in 105 CE(公元年). The world's oldest known printed book is from China,too. It was published around 700 hundred years later. In Europe,when Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in Germany. Since that time,almost 140 million books have been published. |
OTHER WAYS OF READING Books will be around for many years,of course. But there are many new ways of reading books,such as e-books and apps on mobile phones. |
