The Amazing Race China is a reality television competition between teams of two celebrities in a race around the world. The race usually starts in China and is divided into 10 legs wherein teams travel and complete various tasks to obtain clues to help them progress to a Pit Stop where they are given a chance to rest and recover before starting the next leg. The first team to arrive at the Pit Stop is often awarded a prize, while the last team is normally eliminated from the race (except in non-elimination legs, where the last team to arrive may be penalized in the following leg). The final leg of each race is run by the last three remaining teams, and the first to arrive at the final destination wins the grand prize depending on season. The Grand Prize for Season 1 are 1,000,000 RMB plus two Infiniti Cars, Season 2 are 50,000 RMB for donation plus two Infiniti Cars, Season 3 is a Pearl necklace. All winners from each season will also win two Trophies.
