If T/V says this quote, at least we have a cultural challenge this leg!
Unless their parents are crying because TPTB slaughters 5000 years of Chinese culture...
Alright, some additional information on the locations (tourist map
here):
Sheraton Hotel (No 25 on map)Production base. Hotel staff all know of production, but secretive crew kept them out of the loop.
Peak of the Luminous Moon (Mingyue Feng, north end of Binjiang Road)Pit Stop. One of the four peaks in the Folded Brocade Mountain (Diecai Shan) range. Production started at dusk on the 17th, and lasted until the following morning. One souvenir vendor was engaged to provide 50-60 sandwiches for the night, and she opened the gate for racers coming in, which took until about 3am. She couldn't tell racers from crew.
The cave mentioned in the blog Joab found is halfway down from the peak. Racers must pass through the cave to make it up to the top, where Phil stood waiting. And waiting. And waiting...
South City Gate (Gunammen, No 10 on map)The girl working at the Guilin Tourist Information Center saw the team running by during office hours (between 8.30am and 10.00pm). Tough luck, Mark and Michael!
Sun and Moon Towers, and the Soulmate Pier (Riyue Shuangta and Zhiyin Tai, No 13 on map)The clue was on Soulmate Pier, which faces the towers in the middle of the lake. There is a ticketing booth for tourist boats on the pier, and the guy manning the booth was probably lying when he said he didn't know anything. Teams not likely to have entered the towers though.
