The race intensifies this Wednesday on BBC One’s “Race Across the World.” Teams are making their way to the second checkpoint in Sanya, China, located on the tropical shores of Hainan Island. But reaching paradise won’t be easy.
Contestants face a choice of routes: a faster coastal journey utilizing high-speed trains or a more scenic but potentially slower inland trek through rural China. Creating extra difficulty, a typhoon is brewing in the south, threatening to disrupt travel plans and make reaching Hainan Island a race against the elements.
With limited funds and a reliance on their own resourcefulness, teams must tackle not only the geographical challenges but also the cultural nuances of this leg of the race. “Race Across the World” continues Wednesday, 30 April at 9:00 PM GMT on BBC One.
