Trying to "experience new things" as he said on his personal account on social platform Fanstang, Wade and his entourage took the bullet train from Shanghai to Beijing instead of a scheduled flight on Saturday.
The three-time NBA champion posted footage of him and his actress wife Gabrielle Union exploring the railway station in Shanghai and enjoying the ride on his account, which later attracted many likes for his down-to-earth approach to fit into ordinary people's commuting in the most populous country.
"We are in China. Do regular stuff," Wade said in the selfie video.
"It's always exciting to come to China, I am so grateful for the support we get every time we come here," said Wade who has more than 5 million followers on his personal Weibo account, the most-popular micro blogging platform in China.
Under the partnership with Li-Ning, Wade endorsed the Chinese brand to launch a new "Way of Wade" product line under his name, and has been actively involved in designing the WOW sneakers and apparel as chief brand officer of the line.
