One rarity, however, is that teams must complete a very physical task in order to reach the Pit Stop. This means that teams who get to the location of the Pit Stop first won’t necessarily get to the mat first. Instead of a footrace to the mat, which is what we usually see, we see a different kind of struggle. It’s a good determination of who is physically fit and who will have more trouble with those kinds of activities.

This sounds like the pit stop matt is located on the Great Wall of China (outside of Beijing) but teams must climb the wall to reach the matt!! This should be interesting. Reaching the mat location first may not mean that you will be on the matt first!

The producers take full advantage of the Chinese landscape, ending the first leg of the race with a brutal rope climb up the side of the Great Wall of China. It's a segment that is both harrowing to watch and also fascinating to see strictly on its visual terms. It's an almost perfect "Amazing Race" challenge, and it sets a high bar for the rest of the season.

More ammunition for the Great Wall to be the last pit stop for the first leg!!

Possible detour could involve rickshaws and Hutongs of Beijing. (Could be the task that involves attention to detail).
