Topic: China visits by TAR

[ye2000]

TARUS used to frequent China before 2019 and aside from TAR18, all seasons visited what China calls Tier I cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen) along with the developed cities of Hong Kong and Macau. I wonder when will be the next time the Race visits mainland China especially since tensions between China and the US are at an all-time high and the US travel advisory has placed a Level 3 warning on the country. I would love to see Sichuan or specifically Zhangjiajie, Jiuzhaigou or Furong which have been trending on Instagram lately. TAR37 maybe a good restart seeing how HK is being revisited but we need more mainland Chinese seasons just like the past.

I agree with you that if we ever have another mainland China leg, it needs to be somewhere new. I actually don't want to see China for at least another 6-7ish seasons if they are just going to go to the same cities. Having a 7 season break was nice, now they just need to learn how to do that for France, Germany, and Italy (especially the first).

We know a couple of location for Hong Kong in 37, and the location look cool, so I don't think the leg will be bad, but it gets boring to go to the same cities over and over again.

Try The Amazing Race: China Rush if possible, if you'd like to see Sichuan. They visited it on all three seasons.

It’s mainly the fact that the Race kept on visiting the more developed cities rather than those that are Tier II or lower. Guangzhou and Shenzhen were new and had only one visit but because of their developed status it gets boring.

I mean the last Time we saw Beijing was in 2009. I'd happily see it again.
