There are fewer contestants now and the competition is becoming more intense. The remaining four teams will find the key to the adventures of this episode in the Jiaotong University. In Xujiahui, where a strong sense of history is evident, contestants head for Xu Guangqi Park. The clue to the second step is hidden in the corner of the park. Following the clue they quickly find the Beijing Opera Troupe on Hengshan Road. In this first-class national group, contestants are to rehearse a well-known opera aria with the help of a senior troupe member, Fu Xiru. They then must perform it to a standard that gets the approval of Fu Xiru. Will it be a challenge to sing in a style quite alien to the westerners? But they need to get that passport for the next challenge. For years Fu Xiru has been teaching Peking Opera to overseas students at Fudan, Jiaotong, and Tongji Universities. Next, contestants are to rush to Hengshan Road which connects Huaihai Road with the Xujiahui area. After finding something valuable, they arrive at the thousand-year-old Longhua Temple. The Shanghai Stadium is the destination of this episode. The team that is able to get the Shanghai Rush ticket after 10 meters of rock climbing wins the game. Surprisingly, a team that is athletic and claims to love all kinds of sport fails on this project; neither of them manages the climb. The team with the lowest comprehensive score will end their journey on the Rush in this episode.
