Birding Fengxian, Shanghai in summer

10,000 Birds

With my favorite Shanghai birding place at Nanhui getting gradually destroyed under the watchful eyes of the local government favoring Tesla over terns, I have been searching for some alternative Shanghai locations with less ongoing construction, fewer people, and hopefully more birds.

Birding Jianfengling, Hainan (A-H)

10,000 Birds
