Asking with there are

Hello,


I came across with a friend with this:
"How many people are there here?"
Which is correct. But could I use
"How many people are there there?"
Do I need to repeat "there" in order to say that we are talking about a different place then where we are?

I guess my question is silly, but I haven't found anything on Google.
Thanks a lot
