The rapid development of delivery services in China has made Shanghai the "most lazy" city in 2018, according to new data released by the internet giant Alibaba Group.

Released on Jan 2, the data generated from Alibaba's food delivery service Ele.me and lifestyle service platform Koubei shows that Shanghai residents spent the most on food delivery in China. The city's residents also top the rankings for food and beverage consumption in 2018, followed by Beijing and Hangzhou in Zhejiang province.

According to the report, one Shanghai customer made 2,074 food delivery orders on Ele.me in 2018, the most in the country. Another Shanghai user spent a record 253,000 yuan ($36,900) on delivery services.

However, the costliest order was made by a Beijing resident who spent 31,000 yuan on 74 hairy crabs.

The report also stated that the utilization of delivery services is expanding rapidly across the nation, especially in the third- and fourth-tier cities, and that the number of orders exceeding 100 yuan in 2018 jumped 56 percent from 2017.

Shanghai also topped the rankings for consumption of dessert and Western food, 1.8 and 1.9 times of the national average respectively, making it the "sweetest city with a strong foreign flavor".
