Many parents brought their children to the spacious lawn to fly colorful kites, chasing their trajectories and releasing their passion and vitality amidst laughter and joy, experiencing the delightful scenery of a colorful spring outing."Flying a kite seems simple, but it actually requires mastering many skills.

Everyone can have fun and improve their kite flying skills", introduced Liu Lijiant, the chairman of the Wenzhou Kite Association.

It is understood that this event, centered around the theme of kites, combined with professional large-scale kite flying and kite art exhibitions, attracted more than 80 kite enthusiasts from various parts of southern Zhejiang to participate in the flying exchange.
