From September 23 to October 21, over 7,100 McDonald’s outlets will get in on the fun. Pop-ups are sprouting in major cities like Shanghai (West Bund Dome), Beijing, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Changsha and more.
What’s on the menu? A whole mythic mash-up: among the food drops are the Cheese Double Beef Black Gold Mooncake (yes, black burger bun vibes), Golden Crispy Chicken Egg Mooncake, also shrimp nuggets + curly fries with a treasure-gold dipping sauce. Drinks and desserts get upgrades too (McFlurry etc.).
Beyond food: merch is part of the package — there’s a homewear piece (a lounge-robe style), T-shirts, pins, etc. Some stores are even decorated in Wukong style.
Netizen Reactions / Flavor
Many fans are hyped, calling it “culture-soft power done right” — Wukong meets fast food, what’s not to love.
Some are skeptical: “Black burger buns? What if it tastes weird?” or “This is cool for a week, but I want more lasting stuff.”
Others are already worrying about stock running out — limited period, limited merch, classic McD’s flex.
