Kites rise to festive occasion
China DailyVisitors look to the skies at the kite festival in Weifang, Shandong. LI ZIHENG/XINHUA High-tech designs Sobraj Al Akand, who comes from Bangladesh, said: "We saw traditional kites, such as those designed like a dragon to represent China, and some really high-tech designs. Kites have been flown in Weifang, widely known as the world's kite capital, for about 2,400 years. Legend has it that ancient Chinese philosopher Mozi, who was also known for his craftsmanship, made the first kite in what is now present-day Weifang. Local historical records show that Weifang kites were popular during the Ming Dynasty and were a major folk art in the Qing Dynasty, with many artists becoming widely known for their exquisite, high-flying creations.
