Lukas Podolski levelled for the Mannschaft three minutes later with a fine left-foot low shot following Bastian Schweinsteiger's assist at the edge of the box.
Gao brought on a risky starting eleven, leaving major players like former Charlton Athletic player Zheng Zhi, PSV Eindhoven's Zhou Haibin and tall striker Han Peng on the bench. But the young side showed enough guts and played some fluent football.
After the guests made the equalizer, China gradually took some advantage with more ball possession and threatening mid-range shots.
Germany's Mario Gomez (front) heads the ball during Team China International Football Friendly Match against China at Shanghai Stadium in Shanghai, east China, on May 29, 2009.
Jiang Ning forced Enke to make full-stretched saves on two occasions, before substitute Zhou Haibin's drive from 30 meters was tipped over the crossbar by the busy keeper. Germany changed their formation from 4-2-3-1 to 4-4-2 in the second half. Debutant Cacau replaced Mario Gomez and pair Podolski in the front line. But the change didn't have obvious effect facing a solid Chinese defence.
Germany's best chance came in the 85th minute, but Podolski's one-on-one shot went just wide of the empty net.
Germany will fly to Dubai on Saturday to meet the United Arab Emirates on June 2.
