This January, McDonald’s is celebrating its 50th anniversary in Hong Kong by holding plenty of honorary events and happenings. To kick things off, the fast food chain invites all Hongkongers to cruise between Tsim Sha Tsui and Central for free on the Star Ferry on January 1. On the day, passengers can hop aboard a McDonald’s-themed ferry decked out with vibrant banners featuring characters like Birdie, the Hamburglar, and Grimace; vintage photos of a giant Big Mac sailing across Victoria Harbour on a sampan boat; and an old-school Ronald McDonald bench.
Additionally, the fast food chain will display nostalgic Ronald McDonald benches across 50 locations in Hong Kong such as The Peak, Ocean Terminal at Harbour City, and selected McDonald’s branches for a limited time only, so be sure to snap photos with the mascot and bring out your inner kid. Each bench also has a special QR code that corresponds to a unique e-stamp. Scan and collect stamps for a chance to win exclusive prizes – the first 50 individuals to collect all 50 stamps can win a year’s supply of free Big Mac burgers!
Lastly, McDonald’s is rolling out daily discounts on crowd-favourite fast food items from now until January 8. Visit McDonald’s mobile app for more information about their 50th anniversary events and deals.
