• Aberdeen (Aberdeen Harbour - Jumbo Kingdom)
• Wan Chai (Golden Bauhinia Square)

Upon landing in Hong Kong, teams were directed to the Kowloon Walled City Park, where they found a Roadblock. The chosen team member had to talk to the many people walking around the park to tell them about a prominent historical Chinese person. The locals would tell them how to identify each person. Once teams thought they knew everyone, they had to enter the Emperor's room and identify all of the people there by pronouncing their names exactly right to their former competitor Zhang Tielin to get their next clue.

The clue they were given sent them to the Jumbo Kingdom restaurant. There, one team member had to observe a huge array of food set out on a table, and had to use only their vision to determine which dish contained fake food. If they picked some real food, then their partner would have to eat it. Once they found the fake food, they would receive their next clue. This directed them to the Pit Stop at Golden Bauhinia Square, while the leg is not over.

• Hong Kong to Shenzhen
• Shenzhen (University Town of Shenzhen)
• Shenzhen (Excellence Century Center)
• Shenzhen (Dashahe Park)
• Shenzhen (Shenzhen Bay Sports Center)

Teams were forced to keep racing by finding their own rest place in Shenzhen, in nearby Mainland China. At 8:00 a.m., teams traveled to the University Town of Shenzhen where they found many Infiniti cars in a maze. They would have to move these cars forwards and backwards only in order to clear a path for one of the three marked cars to exit the maze. They could then drive this car to Shenzhen's Excellence Century Center, discovering a Roadblock. The chosen team member that did not done the Hong Kong Roadblock had to take a terrifying face-first rappel down one of the towers of the center, traversing down 208 storeys and grabbing their next clue along the way.

The clue they received sent them to Dashahe Park, where they discovered a giant ball pit full of globes. Teams had to find globes marked with the various countries they had visited on the Race. Only one team member was allowed in the pit at one time, with their partner taking the globes passed to them and putting them in the order in which they visited them. Once their order was correct, another globe would open revealing their last clue, directing them to the Finish Line at the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center.
