Hahaha!  Have you never seen anyone fishing?   They fish EVERYWHERE, even in the little man made lakes in parks.   No you don't need a license,  even if its in the law somewhere no one will come and stop you.  Man the Chinese take home and eat what they catch.

Fishing is one of my favorite hobbies. Iv fished in countless lakes and rivers. Never been asked for any kind of license, nor have I ever heard of a "fishing license" here. However, in Hong Kong you do need a license.

Yes you sure do. If you didn't need one all the lakes and rivers and anything with fish in it would be completely wiped out!

Yes you do. You need a mining permit because of the amount of heavy metals you will obtain if you catch one.

I saw lot of people fishing, sure without permit, on every dirty river. On the other hand, those who are making they living from fishing, living on the boats and so on, they need permit which cost 3000rmb per year, according to Greenpeace article I have read about 1 month ago. In the heavy polluted rivers they sometimes can not catch any fish for few days, and they drinking this water ...

Without exception, each and every river in this country is a turbid ditch of toxic waste.  Be warned: stay away from the rivers. if you really want to go fishing, fish but throw the damn critter back into the feculent slime.  Never eat river fish here.  Better bet: mutton from Shanghai...

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
