The Detour on this leg was Spray or Scroll. In Spray teams traveled 34 miles to a car factory, don uniforms, and use spray paint to paint the shell of a Chinese-made car known as a Flyer. Adam and Rebecca, Hayden and Aaron, Kris and Jon, and Freddy and Kendra completed this option. In Scroll, teams had traveled more than 31 miles to a textile factory and searched through 10 bolts of fabric with a light table to find two Chinese characters stamped somewhere within two of the 10 bolts. They then had to cut the characters out and trade it for their next clue. No teams completed this option. The Roadblock required one team member to use a key given to them in the clue and search over 3,000 locks to find the one padlock that the key would unlock. Once done the keymaster will give them the next clue for the Pit Stop which is the Southern Gate of Xi'an City Wall ahead.

The Detour on this leg was Outriggers or Outfits. In Outriggers, teams had to drive 6 miles to a canoe club and, with the help of a steers person, paddle an outrigger canoe down a course more than 6 miles long. Freddy and Kendra and Adam and Rebecca completed this option. In Outfits, teams traveled 10 miles to a tropical clothing distributor and pick one of these dressed mannequins. Then teams searched racks filled with 165,000 articles of clothing for those matching the outfit of their chosen mannequin. After putting the outfits they'll receive their next clue. Kris and Jon completed this option. The Roadblock required one team member to tandem skydive 11000 feet into the sandbar in the middle of Kaneohe Bay, where their next clue is waited.

Legend:
     The team finished in first place
     The team finished in last place and was eliminated from the race
     The team finished in last place in a non-elimination leg
     The team that won The Amazing Race
     The team that crossed the Finish Line second
     The team that crossed the Finish Line third
> The team used the Yield
< Recipient of the Yield

Notes:
1: Freddy & Kendra initially arrived 6th, but they were issued a 30-minute penalty for taking an extra clue after the Viking ship task, stated to take only one clue from the cluebox per each team. Adam & Rebecca and Don & Mary Jean checked in during their penalty time, dropping them to 8th.
2: Don & Mary Jean had arrived in 7th place in Leg 2, but they mistakenly drove the car that belonged to Adam & Rebecca. They left in 8th place at the beginning of Leg 3 after they were issued a 30-minute penalty, while Freddy & Kendra now departed in 7th place.
3: Lena & Kristy failed to complete the Roadblock in Leg 3. After more than 2 hours passed since the last team checked in at the mat and over 10 hours of searching, Phil came out to the Roadblock location and eliminated them.
4: Leg 6 was double-length, with two Detours and two Roadblocks, shown over two episodes. The placements listed in the first column reflect the order teams arrived at the leg's halfway point. The leg's Fast Forward was offered after the halfway mark, and thus permitted Lori & Bolo to skip only the second set of challenges.
5: Adam & Rebecca initially arrived 2nd, but were not allowed to check in as they had not completed the additional task of swimming the length of the pool. As they swam the length of the pool, Hayden & Aaron and Freddy & Kendra checked in during this time, dropping Adam & Rebecca to 4th place.
6: Hayden & Aaron initially arrived 3rd, just ahead of Adam & Rebecca, but were issued a 4-hour penalty for quitting the Roadblock. Both Rebecca and Hayden almost had to quit the Roadblock because the last gondola down the mountain was about to leave; however, at the time Rebecca opened her lock and successfully completed the Roadblock, they checked in during the penalty time, thereby dropping Hayden & Aaron to last place; which resulted in their elimination.
7: The finishes in the first half of the superleg in Leg 6 are not counted as part of the average. Only the final finish in the leg is counted toward the average.
