Everything kites!
Who knew that Weifang is the Kite capitol of the world! I didn’t until I went to Weifang this summer. The museum is laid out beautifully and takes about two hours to tour if you take your time and read all the information. One of the most interesting stories was about the military who used kites to put a man near the enemy camp. While the man was in the air on the kite he started playing songs that would make the enemy homesick! There are some Americans also mentioned in the museums history. The beautiful kites are displayed EVERYWHERE throughout the museum. As I said, the museum is laid out well and is presented very well. If you get to Weifang, go to this museum. Be sure and take your passport with you.

Kite flying was invented in Weifang!
I was fortunate enough to visit during the International Kite Festival! There were lots of people there from all over the world. The museum is an impressive building on the river. It has been beautifully done with history and folklore, kites and statues and a wonderful gift shop!!!! There are ancient kites, modern kites, kites that are 3D and kites that make noise when they fly - all of them works of art. A great place to spend a couple of hours. The perfect follow up is the kite festival itself if you are lucky enough to go!
