The show Beijing Express, in the footsteps of the golden tiger will land on viewers’ screens in the coming weeks. The date was revealed by M6 this Tuesday, January 16.
It’s a return that viewers are eagerly awaiting and the countdown is finally on. In the coming weeks, the program Beijing Express, in the footsteps of the golden tiger, will make its comeback on the air of M6. As with the previous season, Stéphane Rotenberg will be in charge of this show. Regarding the broadcast date, it is Thursday February 8, from 9:10 p.m., the channel announced. A few months ago, the presenter shared a video in which he revealed the country and city of departure for this new season. It will therefore be Bali, in Indonesia, as in the fourth edition. For 2024, the rules are the same: they are pairs who must get from point A to point B, as quickly as possible. For this, they only have one euro per day per person. Will the new participants manage to meet this challenge?
Filming for this new season began a few months ago. Stéphane Rotenberg did not hesitate to reveal behind the scenes to his subscribers, impatient to discover everything. In a video published at the beginning of September, he first confided: “Indonesia is the first country crossed by the race. We haven’t been back to Indonesia since Dragon Road Season 4 in 2009. In a second, he reveals more, stating: “The 18th season will be called “In the Footsteps of the Golden Tiger”. There are 3 countries on the program: so here, Indonesia, we start in Bali, then we will go to Malaysia, we have never been to Malaysia in “Beijing Express”, and finally Vietnam. The finale of this 18th season will be in Hanoi“. A long journey for the candidates, who are determined to go to the final. The presenter also made viewers’ mouths water by mentioning “lots of new things, of course and great“.
Beijing Express: who are the winners of the previous edition?
For this new season, several pairs have chosen to join forces to try to win the 100,000 euros at stake. But who will succeed Xavier and Céline, the winners of the previous season? As a reminder, it is about a boss and his employee who surprised viewers. After 40 days of racing across South America, both finally managed to win the coveted victory. “I think the young people didn’t see us coming. We were in the middle of the rankings, they must have said to themselves ‘Xavier and Céline, we’ll take care of it later’. We never showed that we wanted to win at all costs. We have moved forward for us”, Xavier told Diverto following his victory. But who will succeed them? The answer in a few weeks, from 9:10 p.m. on M6.
