The common Chinese tree frog or Chinese tree toad (Hyla chinensis) is a tree frog from China. People have seen it in the middle of China and in parts of Taiwan and Vietnam. It lives between 200 and 1000 meters above sea level.^[3]^[1]

The adult frog is 25 to 33 cm long from nose to rear end. The female frogs are larger than the male frogs. This frog has a wide head. This frog is dark green on the back with a yellow belly and a brown mouth. It has a black stripe near each eye and black spots on its sides. Adult frogs sit in trees, smaller plants, and rice fields, sometimes in groups.^[1]

Scientists say this frog is related to Hyla arborea.^[3]
