Able to play in the top tier once more he would make his debut on May 13, 2006 against Liaoning FC in a 1-0 win.[4] In his first season he often found it differcult to establish himself as a team regular within the Beijing Guoan squad and found himself often coming on as substitute in many games and this continued throughout much of the next season, nevertheless Wang Changqing has continued to be regular squad player for the team.[5]

Shanghai Shenhua
