When heavy rains arrive, even daily routines as simple as having meal could be a problem. A media worker surnamed Hu in Beijing said he had to wait for three and a half hours for a take-away food and was finally told that his order was canceled.

"The courier told me they already had more than 20 orders pending before mine and all the delivery guys were stuck in flood water."

Some couriers, like the one below, took an usual route - overpass - in order to steer clear of floods.
