Here's some thoughts. In screen cap 202 by S1m0ne, Freddy and Kendra are arguing outside an airport in what appears to be the dead of night. Based on the type of lattice type windows in the background, it looks to be Pu Dong airport in Shanghai.
Now, the last leg ended in the afternoon so the next leg will begin early in the morning. Well, this site http://www.huangshantour.com/english/type.asp?typeID=25 shows that the only flight leaves Shanghai at 9pm so I don't think that F/K are at the airport for that flight. That web site also says that the express train leaves Shanghai at 10pm and doesn't arrive until the next morning at 8:55am. I don't see a long train trip happening either. Beacuse of these transportation limitations, I don't think the race goes to Huang Shan.
Based on the next leg starting early in the morning, I think a flight to Xi'an is much more feasible. I went to expedia.com and saw a 8:45am flight from Shanghai (PVG) to Xi'an (XIY). Since Hua Shan is close to Xi'an and Puddin has found images to match Xi'an screen caps, I would guess that Hua Shan is the correct destination.
Of course, as you know, I could be all wrong.

The more I look at it the more I believe that the teams fly on the 8:00AM China Eastern flight 2152 from Shaghai to Xi'an. The flight takes 2 hours and 10 minutes to cover the 1509 km distance. I found this picture of the West Peak of the Haushan Mountain which is 75 miles east of Xi'an. It looks very much like the mountain behind Rebecca in AOL frame #43 and the sign these people are standing behind looks very much like the one seen behind Adam as he looks for something in his backpack. I'm not good enough to transfer the picture here, but maybe someone else can. It sure looks like a match to me.
