Emirates is the Official Airline of the tournament, which is the second leg in the 'Race To Dubai'.
Wen-tang scored a birdie on the second play-off hole to beat Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy and Francesco Molinari of Italy to claim the title in the 50th edition of the tournament.
During the tournament, Emirates sponsored the seventh hole, the Emirates A380 par 4, and made a donation to the Youth Outreach charity for every professional who birdied the hole over the four days of play; a total of 68 birdies were recorded.
This charity donation was supplemented by proceeds from a nearest to the pin event and a charity hole in one competition also run by Emirates in support of their partnership. A total of five return Emirates Business Class tickets to Dubai and a two night stay in Emirates Hotels & Resort's city-based hotel, The Harbour Hotel & Residence, were won by spectators during the tournament in addition to 200,000 Miles from Skywards, Emirates' frequent flyer programme.
During the tournament, Emirates announced that it was extending its sponsorship of the Hong Kong Open for a further three years.
