Very cool! Are these new wintering sites then?

I am planning to spend a few days in Shanghai the coming week.
How do I get to Rudong by public transport (from Shanghai Downtown) and from there to the mudflats?
Is the Dongtan Park on Chongming Island worth a visit?
Thanks in advance!

With fewer birds left in Guangdong,many of them are on the way back thru Rudong area.
On 6 and 7 many waders were arriving,esp Great Knot(one with PTT from NWAustralia landed at Tongzhou Bay)and Grey Plover(one with PTT from SouthAustralia landed in Dongtai).
I saw ten Spooner in quick scans when focusing mainly on color-marked Great Knot.
On 8 local photographers got two flagged Spooner,one was Lime 08,our old friend and the other was Lime A1 who for the first time was seen after it was hatched in 2014.
A1 is showing some br plumage and should be ready to breed at this age.
