Teams must fly to Hanoi, Vietnam. Upon arrival teams must make their way to the Lý Thái Tổ Garden, where they would find a group of locals doing their morning exercises using fans.

Choice A: Bamboo Climb
Teams must make their way to 42A Hàng Vải Street, where they must pick up a marked 15-foot bamboo ladder and carry it to 56 Cầu Gỗ Street, and squeeze themselves and their ladder up the narrow stairway to the roof. On the roof, they must use the ladder to retrieve a birdcage. Once they have the birdcage, they must return the ladder and bring the birdcage back to the shop at 42A Hàng Vải Street to receive their next clue. Only three ladders are available at a time.
Becca & Floyd, London & Logan, and Matt & Redmond chose this task.
Choice B: Window Design
Teams must make their way to Mannequins Thành Tuyết, where they must pick up three mannequins; a male, a female, and a child, and bring them to a marked shop on Chân Cầm Street. Once there, they must use a provided photo as reference to dress the mannequins in a window display to the shop owner's satisfaction to receive their next clue.
Teams must make their way to Thống Nhất Park to check in.
For coming in first place, Becca & Floyd won a trip for two to the Galápagos Islands, provided by Travelocity.
