A drone delivery service launched on Wednesday at Futian Port,
mk located between Guangdong Province and neighboring Hong Kong, is attracting attention from citizens eager to enjoy cross-border food in minutes.
Daily commuters between Hong Kong and Shenzhen can now take advantage of the “airdrop” takeout service, allowing them to pick up their orders at designated landing spots within 10 minutes, bypassing the hassle of locating their delivery person in crowded areas.
Popular dining brands such as KFC, CHAGEE, and Heytea are already integrated into this service, according to Meituan, the shopping platform behind the initiative. The service also supports users to place orders in advance while commuting. It offers precise timing, with only a few seconds of variance, ensuring a “synchronized arrival” experience.
