The order of departure from Banff Springs Hotel are as follows:

1. Shane & Andrew (2:02 am)
2. Joseph & Grace (2:57 am)
3. Michelle & Jo (3:14 am)
4. Paul & Steve (3:29 am)

Teams must take a bus to Calgary and then fly to Beijing, China. Upon arrival, teams had to find a marked stall on Ghost Street where they would get their next clue.

Choice A: Waiter

Teams must make their way to Liang An Yi Jia restaurant where they have to take food orders from eight customers in Mandarin Chinese and recite each order to the chef. If they pronounced the orders correctly, the chef gave them the meals to serve to the customers. Once every customer received their correct meal, teams received their next clue.

Joseph & Grace and Michelle & Jo chose this task.

Choice B: Wheel

Teams must make their way to Liang An Yi Jia restaurant where each team member have to spin a lazy Susan with the names of Chinese delicacies on it and their partner had to eat whatever it landed on. After each team member ate two dishes, they received their next clue.

Paul & Steve and Shane & Andrew chose this task.

Teams must make their way to Wuzhisheng Foot Reflection Health Center, where both team members must have to endure a ten-minute reflexology foot massage before receiving their next clue. In the event that racers could not bear the painful part of the massage, they could pull their foot away to signal the masseuse to stop; however, they would have to restart the massage from the beginning.

Teams must make their way to Marco Polo Bridge and count the number of the bridge's lion head statues (446) before receiving their next clue to the Ming warrior.

"Who can crack the warrior code?"

Teams must travel to the Mutianyu section in the Great Wall of China. The assigned team member must have to pass through nine rows of warriors and retrieve their next clue. In each row, only one warrior would let them through and the others would block them. If the team member were blocked by a warrior three times, they had to go back to the first row and start again.

The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:

• Michelle & Jo
• Paul & Steve
• Shane & Andrew

Joseph & Grace fell too far behind the other teams and failed to make it to the required area of the Great Wall of China for the Roadblock, instead travelling to the Inner Mongolia section of the Great Wall and they were eliminated at their location.

Teams must make their way to the Tàimiào Temple at Forbidden City to check in.
For coming in first place, Michelle & Jo won A$10,000 each from Southern Cross.
