China beat South Korea 3-2 in the women's volleyball final to claim the final gold medal of the Asian Games on Saturday.
It was a fitting end to a multi-sports event that China dominated, winning 199 of the 476 gold at stake, with South Korea collecting 76 and Japan 48.
Thirty-six of the 45 countries and territories taking part managed to climb the podium, with some notable successes.
Macau won its first gold medal ever through Jia Rui in the men's wushu and Bangladesh matched that breakthrough, claiming the men's cricket title in an exciting victory over Afghanistan.
Oman and Nepal propped up the table with a single bronze each, but there was no joy for minnows like Timor-Leste, Maldives, Turkmenistan, Brunei and Cambodia.
