"Who thinks they're living a charmed life?"
The team member assigned to perform this Roadblock must search through tens of thousands of wooden charms for a set of twelve that correspond to the symbols of the Chinese zodiac. Once they collect the charms, they must place them on a mobile in the correct order of the traditional procession of the signs according to myth; Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig, to receive their next clue.
The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:
Teams must take a marked shuttle bus to the Old Town of Lijiang and search for the ancient prayer wheel at Grass Selling Square, where they would find their next clue.
Teams must put a wish into the prayer wheel via a slot that corresponds to their sign in the Chinese zodiac, and call out the name of their sign. Once they have placed their wish in the correct slot, they will receive their next clue.
Choice A: Hammer
