In order to commemorate the first joint edition since 1996, a mixed doubles tournament was held by combining female players of the WTA China Open and the male players of the ATP Beijing Challenger. The tournament had a prize money of USD $6,000, but as this was an exhibition tournament, no points were given for the ATP and WTA rankings.

Matches were played at best of three sets with a Match tie-break replacing the final set, in which a pair must win a 10-point tiebreaker (or by a two-point margin) to win the match. Match tie-breaks were not fully implemented until the 2006 season in official tournaments.{{cite news|title=Match tie break, nueva fórmula para los dobles|trans-title=Match tie break, new formula for doubles matches|url=http://www.elmundo.es/elmundodeporte/2005/11/20/tenis/1132501745.html|accessdate=21 January 2018|agency=DPA|publisher=El Mundo|date=20 November 2005|location=Shanghai|language=Spanish}}
