Dear All,

I will be for a month next month in Shanghai. Does anyone knows some herping ground in or near the city or have contacts there to help?

Thanks a lot!

Guillaume

Yeah, that would be interesting. Will be there in November (not the best time for helping but not as cold as in Europe).

Cheers Christoph

Did either of you end up getting any tips, or care to share some information about your experiences?
I plan to be in Shanghai at the end of April, keeping a few days free for herping.

Hi Anthony,

Nope, and I have not visited that much, there are few parks, usually near down town (not the best). And Shanghai is huge, will take very long to reach agricultural lands (that are really populous)...

I saw very few herps on my campus, that I guess are common everywhere...

So I will advice you to take a train and go away from it...
