First-ever McDonald's-themed museum in China spans six floors of retro memorabilia
What awaits at this colossal, Happy Meal-inspired space? This six-storey museum pays homage to the fast-food giant's rich history, showcasing a nostalgic mix of vintage Happy Meal toys, retro burger boxes, and limited-edition collaborations featuring the likes of Tom & Jerry, Hello Kitty and more. Spot statues of McDonald's beloved mascots including the ever-jovial Ronald McDonald peppered around the museum, along with a replica of Iceland's infamous 'never rot' meal. All displays are labelled in Chinese, so you'll want to keep a translation app handy as you wander through the exhibits.
Beyond the sea of McDonald's memorabilia, you can also pose at the dedicated photo booth or tuck into fries, wings and more at the on-site dining area.
So, why Shenzhen? The city holds a special place in McDonald's history as it was home to the first Chinese branch, which opened in 1990, and was the only branch that accepted both Chinese Yuan and Hong Kong Dollars at the time.
The museum is located at A Park in Meilin, Futian District. It's considerably accessible by public transport, as it's just a short walk away from Xiameilin Station.

The well-known home in Luckington, Wiltshire, was a memorable part of British television in the 90s and has been listed for just under £4million.

Now, Pride and Prejudice fans have a shot at snapping up a unique piece of TV history as the picturesque manor house hits the market. The grade II-listed country house, immortalised to millions as the home of protagonist Elizabeth Bennet and her family, is up for sale for £3.95million. The BBC's 1995 adaptation featured Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth Bennet and Colin Firth as the dashing Mr Darcy. It is widely lauded as the best adaptation of the Jane Austen classic ever made. Those wanting to live their very own Jane Austen-inspired life can strut through the Queen Anne front pillared portico or wistfully meander through the mature gardens like the on-screen family. The historic country house, featuring a wood carved doorway reputedly by Grinling Gibbons as well as eight bedrooms. It also boasts seven bathrooms and six reception rooms, providing ample room for family life and entertainment. The second floor is a flat and games room, says Knight Frank, who are handling the sale. And there's plenty of outside space too, with extensive lawns approaching the house dominated by a 400-year-old Lebanese Cedar, which has one of the biggest ever recorded in the UK. 14 The Bennet family walking into the front of Luckington Court Credit: PIC FOR REFERENCE ONLY - NOT FOR 14 Pride and Prejudice 1995 is considered the best adaptation of the novel Credit: Alamy 14 Jenifer Ehle, playing Elizabeth Bennet walking into Luckington Court gardens Credit: PIC FOR REFERENCE ONLY - NOT FOR 14 The small country estate boasts luscious views Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 14 It is described as a 'quintessentially English' property Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media The new owners will also enjoy a tennis court, stable block, a dovecote, an outdoor riding school. The property also boasts home farm buildings, 1.27 acres of woodland and four well-presented cottages. James Walker, Regional Head of Central in Knight Frank's Country Department, said: "It is a privilege to be involved with the sale of Luckington Court, which is the epitome of a classic, small country estate. "The next custodian will appreciate the subtle grandeur and the sense of pride it evokes. "Quintessentially English and wonderfully understated." Prior to the 1995 TV series coming out, another version of Pride And Prejudice was written for the BBC in 1980 by the late Fay Weldon. But the 1995 version is arguably better known as it helped make Colin Firth a household name. And its famous lake scene inspired similar sequences in Bridget Jones' Diary and Bridgerton. Luckington Court at Luckington near Chippenham in Wiltshire had last been taken off the market in 2023, listed with estate agent Wooley & Wallis with an asking price of £6 million. In 2018, it was put up for sale for the first time in 70 years, through Strutt & Parker, with a higher guide price of £9 million. 14 The Bennet sisters walking in the garden of Longbourn which is Luckington Court in real life 14 The picturesque property is nestled in a peaceful area Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 14 Luckington Court in Luckington, Wiltshire, famously portrayed Longbourn Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media

Covid hero Capt Sir Tom Moore's daughter reveals plans to write TEN more books
Hannah Ingram-Moore, 54 - who faced criticism for her handling of Capt Sir Tom Moore's legacy - is writing a slew of wellness and business books, plus her autobiography and kids' works The daughter of Captain Sir Tom Moore is set to release another 10 books despite being criticised over her handling of the hero's legacy. Fallen fundraiser Hannah Ingram-Moore, 54, is writing a slew of wellness and business books, plus her autobiography and kids' works. She has just penned the £8.99 tome Grief: Public Face Private Loss. It is described as a 'compassionate guide to ease loneliness, address the fear of lost memories, navigate emotions, and honour loved ones with insights from my personal journey'. But sales have been sluggish and it currently sits at number 696,973 in the Amazon sales charts and has a 2.8 out of 5 rating. However, she is undeterred about putting pen to paper again and reveals on her website: 'I am currently working on over ten new titles, each shaped by different parts of my life and perspective; among them are: personal resilience, business resilience, business success, personal branding, reclaiming wellness, leadership and legacy-building, animal rescue and the dogs who've changed my life, children's books about kindness, empathy, and strength 'And, when the time is right, my full autobiography. Each of these books is driven by the same desire: to tell the truth with grace, and to create space for others to do the same. I never set out to be an author, but as my journey unfolded, I realised the power of using my voice with intention and the importance of telling stories that truly matter. 'Writing has become my refuge, a space for reflection, and a means to offer something enduring. I hope you discover something within these pages that resonates with you and perhaps even assists you in rediscovering your own voice, too.' Mrs Ingram Moore sparked controversy after she and husband Colin pocketed cash from a previous book deal – giving none to Capt Tom's good cause. A damning Charity Commission report last November found it was among moves by the Ingram-Moores to cash in on the fame of Capt Tom, who died in 2021. The couple were also ordered to demolish a luxury spa that had been built in the grounds of their home in Marston Moretaine, Beds., using the Captain Tom Foundation charity name. Capt Tom – knighted before his death - raised nearly £39 million for NHS charities by completing 100 lockdown laps of the family's garden using a walking aid. Publishers Penguin then agreed to pay a £1.4 million advance to the Ingram-Moore's private company for Captain Tom's memoir on the understanding a contribution would be made to charity. In the prologue to Tomorrow Will Be a Good Day, Capt Tom – who died aged 100 – wrote: 'I have also been given the chance to raise even more money for the charitable foundation established in my name.' Mrs Ingram-Moore later defended the decision to keep profits from his books, which also included Life Lessons and One Hundred Steps. Most of the money from them went into the family company, Club Nook. Earlier this year Mrs Ingram-Moore told the BBC she was sorry if the public felt misled. She said: "I genuinely am. But there was never any attempt to mislead and if there was any misleading it wasn't our doing."

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers baffling 'censorship' update stops you killing bosses
A strange update has been released for Wuchang: Fallen Feathers which stops players from killing historical figures, sparking a wave of negative reviews on Steam. Between Black Myth: Wukong and the upcoming Phantom Blade Zero, there's an ungoing wave of Chinese-developed Soulslike games at the moment, all mimicking FromSoftware's single-player formula. Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, developed by Leenzee, is the most recent example. Set during China's Ming dynasty, the action role-player blends its historical setting with supernatural elements, as protagonist Bai Wuchang contends with a mysterious disease turning people into monsters. In a bizarre turn of events, the historical aspects of Wuchang: Fallen Feathers have become a controversial sticking point, after an update made alterations to the story and stopped certain historical characters from being killed. In the game's version 1.5 update, the developers delivered a comprehensive list of bug updates and alterations. While it all seemed relatively innocuous on the surface, one line raised some alarm bells. 'Added dialogs for some NPCs to complete some plots,' read the patch notes. 'We will further optimise the exhaustion animations in the future to improve the plot performance.' While 'plot performance' sounds like an awkward translation hiccup, players who downloaded the update discovered that this line actually refers to a dramatic change whereby you no longer 'kill' certain bosses and other enemies who are based on historical figures. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. LOL WUCHANG patch notes say they "optimized the exhaustion animation for certain NPCs" and what they mean is they made it so you can no longer kill any historically significant bosses or NPCs, and instead they just get "exhausted" and relax after the fight and talk to you LMAO — Lance McDonald (@manfightdragon) August 13, 2025 One of the most difficult and epic boss fights now ends with the boss no longer dying but instead saying 'it was all just a trial! And actually the path you are on is good! Hahaha!' Holy wow — Lance McDonald (@manfightdragon) August 13, 2025 As highlighted by Lance McDonald on X, certain bosses no longer die after you've defeated them but now collapse in exhaustion. These bosses, like Ming General Liu Cheng'en, have altered dialogue too. 'I won't stop you going forward but the people ahead will attack you like a monster,' the boss now says in his 'exhausted' state. The fight with Zhao Yun has similarly been altered, with players reporting that you no longer fight the actual person but his spirit instead. Before the update, when defeated, Yun dies and says: 'The mortal dream fades, my tale concludes, I understand now, all is as it should be.' However, now his dialogue has been altered to something more trivial: 'Ha, still set on this path? Good! That was the trial's purpose all along! Hahaha!' These changes have impacted other enemies. It's claimed the game's fourth chapter has now become 'insanely easy because 50% of the enemies are now non-hostile to the player and you can't attack them during the rebellion outbreak'. As for the reason behind these changes, McDonald claims this 'censored' update is due to 'pressure from Chinese players who were upset about being able to kill historically significant characters from the end of the Ming Dynasty'. The Ming General no longer dies and now just sits near the shrine and says "I wont stop you going forward but the people ahead will attack you like a monster" — Lance McDonald (@manfightdragon) August 14, 2025 Other players have left a wave of negative reviews on Steam following the update, noting how the alterations go against the plot of the game, as the crux of the story is based around coming to terms with death. More Trending 'Dev single-handed butchered the whole theme of the story by changing plotlines and catering to the idiotic nationalist, who would never touch the game,' one Steam review reads. 'Would not recommend until dev fix this or give global players a way to revert this themselves.' It seems Reddit posts from players complaining about the changes have been deleted from the game's official subreddit too, with one user sharing a screenshot of their deleted post on the 'Soulslike' subreddit. While it's unclear if these changes have been motivated by certain Chinese players or government pressure, the update is clearly something the developers are trying to gloss over. If furore continues though they may be forced to address it. Email gamecentral@ leave a comment below, follow us on Twitter.
