This excerpt from the winning bid announcement has been the only glimpse of the new football-specific stadiums they say they'll build: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIUOBemORzMIf they're going to complete them by December 2021 (I wouldn't believe that if it was anyone else but China) then I guess we'll be seeing something pretty soon.

+x+x+xBit awkward that they announced it on the 30th anniversary of Tiananmen Square lol Is Qatar can commit flagrant human rights abuses against it's workers & kill some of them & be awarded a World Cup then China can host an Olympics and an Asian Cup whilst still committing human rights abuses. That's some strong whataboutism you've got there. It's called facts snowflake. I'm sure you can still discern the difference even from your ill gotten unearned perch.

http://www.the-afc.com/afc/documents/PdfFiles/china-pr-afc-asian-cup-2023-bid-evaluation-reportStadium Facilities The construction of ten (10) new professional stadiums are planned across the eight (8) cities and the stadiums proposed meet the pitch size requirement of 105 x 68 metres with natural grass pitches. Minor upgrades are required for the existing stadiums to meet the AFC’s standard including VIP seats and function rooms. The building of new stadiums is considered as a risk for the competition, however, based on the process of current construction and documents received by the Inspection Team, the risk is considered Low. All new stadiums have a fully functional back-up stadium as part of the bid proposal, which further minimises this risk. In general, the existing stadiums would have to be upgraded to meet the AFC’s requirements. Local Transport The 12 stadiums are separated into individual cities across China PR. Most of the stadiums are accessible by well-developed public transportation such as railways, metro and bus stations with multiple stations within walking distance from the stadiums. The local transport services among the host cities are also reliable, ensuring convenience for the general public. Conclusion The bid proposed twelve (12) host cities and all twelve (12) stadiums meet and exceed the minimum requirements. Among existing stadiums and back-up venues, most are used for the AFC competitions such as AFC Champions League and national team matches.All new stadiums are planned as football specific stadiums. There should be no issue with facilities, but regular follow ups on the construction process shall be taken if China PR is selected as the host of the Asian Cup 2023.

+xAccording to AFC‘s evaluation report semifinal will be host at Beijing (birds' nest, capacity 86000), & Shanghai (Pudong football venue, capacity 33,865), Final match will be at Shanghai too That's interesting as according to wikipedia, Shanghai wasn't even mentioned as a possible host city. Didn't sound right to me though. Hopefully Xi'an is going to get some matches, love that place.

+xDoesn't say in the article but I assume it'll be on in June/July 2023? It'd be madness to do it in January because of the weather and Chinese New Year is also in that period. Forgot that the World Cup is going to be in November-December in 2022 so yeah has to be. Surely June-July, for the reasons you state.
