3: Xiao Yang & Wang Taili quit the Roadblock challenge and received a 1-hour penalty before they could continue racing. Xiao Yang originally chose to attempt the task before quitting and this is reflected in the Roadblock count.
4: Han Geng & Wu Xin and Xiao Yang & Wang Taili each received a 15-minute penalty before starting the Detour because they both received money from locals earlier in the leg, violating the rules of leg 3.
5: Yang Qianhua & Ding Zigao used their Express Pass to skip the Water Detour on Leg 4.
6: Zeng Zhiwei & Zeng Baoyi were forced to quit the Face-Off because of an injury Zeng Zhiwei received during the Face-Off. They received a 15-minute penalty which started after the losing Face-Off team's 15-minute penalty.
7: Yang Qianhua & Ding Zigao gave their second Express Pass to Zeng Zhiwei & Zeng Baoyi at the start of Leg 4. They later used it to bypass the underground city task on the same leg.
8: Zeng Zhiwei & Zeng Baoyi initially arrived in 2nd. However, they received a 1-hour penalty for not completing the first task of Leg 4 which involved finding a local's house and spending the night there.

12: Leg 8 was a special leg involving Intersected teams battling each other in a series of five Face-Offs. For winning three of the five Face-Offs, Han Geng & Wu Xin and Yang Qianhua & Ding Zigao were both awarded 1st place. For losing, Xiao Yang & Wang Taili and Yuan Zihui & Yuan Heyu would have to battle each other in a final Face-off with the losers being eliminated. Yuan Zihui & Yuan Heyu lost the final Face-Off, eliminating them.
13: Jin Zhongguo & Li Guangzhu joined the race as an invading team. They were required to finish 1st in their debut leg in order to keep racing. They placed 2nd and were eliminated.
14: Han Geng & Wu Xin lost their chicken they had keep with them during a leg, presumably incurring a penalty at the Pit Stop.
