Having won the boys singles event at the US Open, Yibing went straight to Shanghai and did not drop a set while capturing the $75,000 event in his country.
"I think mentally I am doing really well, because I just traveled back to Shanghai from New York. The jet lag issue from my body did not affect my match. My team also gave me lots of positive energy," he told the ATP website.
"I am happy with my performance this week. Not only because of the title, but I am also satisfied with the way I played. The most enjoyable thing is I got so many fans to come on site and support me."
Though China has produced several top WTA players, including the retired two-time Grand Slam champion Li Na, it has yet to have a player regularly competing on the ATP tour.
But now it does have a top teenage prospect on the men's side. Yibing will climb to No. 319 following his challenger win, and also wants his example to encourage other young players in China.
"I believe if I do every step right and work hard, the good results will come along," he said.
There are three other Chinese men in the Top 320 in the rankings.
