Soaring above the vast grasslands of Hohhot in Inner Mongolia, giant kites in a wide variety of animal forms, including prehistoric creatures, have drawn locals and visitors to the city's kite art season.

Kites featuring shaomai, a popular regional snack, and Wang Zhaojun – the famous Chinese heroine who helped secure peace between the Han Dynasty and the nomadic Xiongnu over 2,000 years ago and is believed to be buried in Hohhot, add a distinctive local touch to the spectacle.

This year's Hohhot kite art season runs from March 20 to April 6.
