??? Maybe you mean Leg 11 instead of Leg 10? ???

I wish to stop going to both countries. Seriously, visited the unvisited or rarely visited ones (I loved Seychelles. The islands are beautiful!) I want them to go back to Australia for some reason. Haven't been there in a long time.

I want them to stop going to Beijing and Shanghai. China is such a big country but only 4 cities have been visited (Gulin, Shanghai, Beijing, Xian)
DavidJunior:
I don't mind Shanghai that much for this season. It's only been used one other time (TAR 6).
But now that it's been used, NO MORE!
same with Beijing! 4 stinking legs! visited on 3 different occasions! really? come on people...
I hate it when they constantly use the same city/area many times over and over again, especially over a short period of time.
Maybe India and China would be a bit more tolerable if they went to NEW places in each. Trust me, they're there.

Hong Kong and Macau don't count?
What irks me is that while China feels overused, it really isn't. Lots of big cities and cultures to visit. In my opinion, it's okay to revisit a city after about 10 installments has elapsed. That's why Beijing in TAR 10 felt refreshing, but TAR 14's visit just dragged. In addition, part of the reason why some countries/cities feel overused is that TAR now spends the second and third to last legs in one place. For instance, revisiting Shanghai in Leg 10 would have been nice to see. But why spend Leg 11 there? Just been there, seen there, done that. It's also egregious that TAR didn't decide to visit Hanzhou, Huzhou, or Nanjing, interesting cities which are only an hour away.
Same goes for India (though TAR was usually good to find some place new until TAR 12) and Thailand.
OTOH, TAR has been good at revisiting some countries, while managing to create distinct legs that focus on different aspects of the nation's culture. The best example is definitely France, which has hosted 7 legs to date. However, Paris has only been visited twice, while the other legs took place in other areas and were unique in their own ways. Other good examples are Italy, Australia, and Brazil.
