Shanghai, China - Mayor Newsom today visited Shanghai's No. 1 Gao'an Road Primary School. The school, located in China's most populated city, was once attended by Huston Rockets star, Yao Ming, when Ming was a boy.

During a tour of the school's facilities, Mayor Newsom was invited to join a friendly scrimmage between students.
