One of the most famous fast food, not just in our country but the whole world would be McDonald’s and we’re all lovin’ it! McDonald’s began as an American fast-food business, but it rapidly grew to include stores all over the world.

Here are some locations with the world’s most unusual McDonald’s and here’s a hint, our country is in it too!

The name “Golden Arches” has become associated with McDonald’s. The McDonald’s in Sedona, Arizona, on the other hand, chose a turquoise-colored “M” instead of the Golden Arches. City authorities were concerned that a yellow-colored “M” would contrast with the natural red-rock, mountainous scenery when the Sedona McDonald’s opened in 1993. As a result, the Golden Arches were painted turquoise to blend in with the city’s natural surroundings.
4. Hangzhou, China
