Passengers taking high-speed trains in China can now order products unique to places along the routes, reports Xinhua News Agency.

Beginning on Thursday, local specialty products ordered by passengers on the official China Railway website or app will be delivered to their seats by railway staff, according to China Railway Corporation.

Since Thursday, passengers can order online meals offered by a certain station one hour before the train is scheduled to arrive at the station, compared to two hours in the past.
