Passengers on a high-speed train in eastern China were left disgusted after a woman was caught on camera "pigging out" on durian fruit.

The video was filmed in the city of Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province on May 6.

The notorious fruit, known for its pungent odour, caused fellow passengers to complain and record the incident.

But is it actually allowed to bring durian fruit on board high-speed trains? The National Railway Customer Service Center confirmed that durian is permitted as long as it is well-sealed to prevent any odour from seeping out.

However, the fruit cannot be consumed on the train, and the weight limit for both luggage and durian combined cannot exceed 20kg.

On Weibo, a microblogging platform similar to Twitter, a user expressed their opinion, stating, "Although I also enjoy eating durian, it is not appropriate to consume it in public without consideration for others."

The video was provided by local media with permission.

5月6日，浙江杭州。一女子在高铁上“大口朵颐”吃榴莲，因味道太臭被同车厢乘客记录下来。对于能否在高铁这样的公共场合吃榴莲，全国铁路客户服务中心一名客服工作人员介绍：坐高铁是可以携带榴莲的，但需要旅客将其密封好，无液体、气体的渗出。列车上不是能食用的，与行李合计不能超过20千克，带皮和不带皮都一样。若看到有旅客食用，可向列车工作人员反映。
