Live: Experience creative kite flying in China's 'Kite Capital'

Kite flying is a folk custom in China with a long history, dating back to the Tang Dynasty. Since the Qing Dynasty, flying kites in spring has become more and more popular in China. 

Weifang, in the eastern province of Shandong, is the place where kites were invented and is now known as the "Kite Capital of the World." Every year, the "International Kite Festival" in Weifang draws participants from more than 30 countries and regions, presenting a diverse range of unique kite creations and performances, such as kite fighting, kite dancing and the latest innovations in kite design. Join us to experience the excitement of kite flying!
