Saturday Aug 22 was the busiest night of the month: Angela Chang night 1 at Dong’an Lake, Rongcheng 4–5 Shanghai Shenhua at Phoenix Hill, plus Huang Ling, Li Daben, and Happy Valley — while midweek opened two major museum shows and the Chengdu Biennale entered its final days.
Here is a practical roundup for August 16 – August 22, 2026.

When: Aug 22 ~19:00 (night 1) and Aug 23 ~21:00 (night 2)

Night 1 fell inside this week. On Aug 23 (spillover), Chang paused mid-show ~3–5 minutes in heavy heat during a carousel costume segment — screen showed “对不起，请给我三分钟” — then finished after medical checks (163 recap).

Nine goals. He Yiran 2′ opener; Felipe two late pens for Rongcheng; Asue hat-trick for Shenhua among the visitors’ five (CCTV Sports; 川观新闻). Rongcheng still led the table (~48 pts) with a ~12-point cushion despite 1 win in 8 rounds.
