Host nation China won the most gold and the most overall medals, with 32 and 85 respectively.[6] The Philippines' team obtained their first Asian Winter Games gold medal, which was also their first Asian Winter Games medal of any color, with curlers Benjo Delarmente, Alan Frei, Christian Haller, Enrico Pfister, and Marc Pfister winning the men's tournament.[7] Chinese Taipei's and Thailand's teams also obtained their first Asian Winter Games medals, with the former winning bronze in the women's 100 metres speed skating event from speed skater Chen Ying-chu,[8] and the later also winning bronze but in the men's slopestyle event from freestyle skier Paul Vieuxtemps.[9]

The medal table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and is consistent with IOC conventional sorting in its published medal tables. The table uses the Olympic medal table sorting method. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won, where a nation is an entity represented by a NOC. The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals.[24][25] If teams are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by their IOC country code.[26]
