BEIJING: Fancy some steamed buns or sandwiches to beat the hunger pangs while hiking along the Great Wall of China? Look no further than e-commerce platform Meituan, which is combining an innovative service model with cutting-edge drone technology to make your visit to the iconic landmark more memorable.

Since last week, visitors to the Badaling section of the Great Wall have been able to order food and emergency supplies on the platform, and their orders have been dropped off not by delivery workers on electric bikes, but by unmanned aerial vehicles.
