The Amazing Race 2 (China)

Development and filming

The Starting Line of the second Amazing Race was at the Watson Bay, at Sydney, Australia.

Filming begin June 2, 2015 at Sydney and ended on August 16, 2015 at Chengdu, Sichuan. This is the first race in the series where both the Starting Line and Finish Line were held on different locations. In the American version and most other versions, it always start and end on the same country.

This season introduced two new twists. Invasion is a new twist that allows several teams to join in the game as intruders. The intruders will be starting the race at the start of a given leg. In their invasion leg, the intruders have to finish in a given position (top two in Leg 7, or winning Leg 9) in order to continue racing - if they fail their invasion, they may be eliminated from the race as if they had finished last. If they succeed, the intruders will keep on racing in future legs. Regardless of the outcome, regular elimination would continue to apply on the same leg.

This season also introduced the Intersection with Integration Versus, which is basically a combination of Intersection and Versus for some tasks. Both of the Intersection and Versus came together as teams will be respectively intersected and later battle out in various tasks. Where first, four teams will need to choose which team they want to be intersected by "voting". Once both teams have chosen each other at the same time, it is successfully intersected. Then, teams will need to complete the task at some point by using head-to-head or timing. The team that wins the head-to-head challenge or the faster time will win two points. After five rounds, the team with the most points will be automatically in first place. The second team will have to do the head-to-head challenge again. The winning team will keep racing while the losing team will be eliminated.

Similar to the first season, this season featured celebrities who were chosen to race on the show. Notable casting members including singers Deng Ziqi and Super Idol winner Zhang Yunjing, the Chopstick Brothers notable for the viral video "Little Apple", as well as the 2012 Olympics gymnast Feng Zhe.
