The stations where passengers can order food are mainly provincial capital cities along the way. For example, passengers taking the G429 train from Beijing to Lanzhou can order meals in advance at Shijiazhuang, Zhengzhou and Xi'an stations.

The reporter also noticed that many of the restaurants where you can order food have local specialties. For example, you can order Henan braised noodles at Zhengzhou Station, and you can taste Roujiamo at Xi'an Station. , and passengers passing through Chengdu and Chongqing stations can also taste Sichuan delicacies such as twice-cooked pork set rice.

In addition to local specialties, there are also many popular chain fast food brands for tourists to choose from. The reporter saw in the 12306 food ordering system that fast food such as KFC, Dicos, and Zhen Kung Fu can be ordered at many stations.

The reporter found through comparison that the meal prices of most fast food chains are basically the same as those sold at local train stations, but are slightly higher than those in stores in the city.

It is understood that when passengers who have ordered meals refund, change tickets, or change their arrival station online, the system will remind the passengers to cancel the meal. They can handle the refund on their own on the page that automatically jumps out of the 12306 website. The merchant will set the automatic return time and stop return time.

In 12306’s food ordering service system, a special area for “taking the high-speed rail and ordering takeout” has been opened. The reporter saw that there are 5 stores providing food ordering services at Nanning East Railway Station: McDonald's, KFC, Zhen Kung Fu, Sanpinwang, and Guangxi Donggao. Each store is clearly marked with product types and prices, as well as the starting time for sale and the last time for ordering.
