Former NBA star Yao Ming will make a guest appearance on this weekend's episode of the hit reality TV show, "Dad, wher are we Going?" which features Chinese celebrity-dads completing tasks with their children.
The theme of this week's program is asking kids to find the tallest person in the village wher the father-child pairs are visiting.
The former pro-basketball player will also show his skills on the court during the program.
Yao was originally supposed to be part of this season's cast of fathers, along with his four-year-old daughter, but couldn't fully commit to the project due to scheduling issues.
"Dad, wher are We Going?" is broadcasted by Hunan Television in central China and is based on the South Korean reality show of the same name.
The series has become a massive hit, gaining about 75 million viewers per weekly episode.
The second season of the show features other celebrity dads, like famous Chinese gymnast, Yang Wei, and Taiwan singer, Cao Ge.
