Peking Express takes 16 people on an epic journey that money cannot buy. 8 teams race against each other across Asia for a cash prize. With a travel budget of ONLY ONE DOLLAR A DAY the teams have to race by hitchhiking and convince locals to give them a place to sleep and even free food. The participants have to rely on their wits, talent and social skills to conquer the many challenges: a relentless race in an exotic world, a harsh climate and challenging games. The rewards are priceless as they travel through one of the most beautiful parts of the world, encounter fascinating people and cultures and discover themselves.
