    It's great to see the youth participating in this! With the participation of young people, the Kite Festival has injected new vitality into the community. I've read that many young workers participating are putting their "complaints" about work into the sky, which is not only their way of relief, but it also just makes people happy because it's artistic expression and it adds on to the festival. It shows just how inclusive this festival is. This world is but a canvas to our imagination, and that's why art is so important whether it's through kites or paintings. It helps shape who we are, and it helps us view things from a new perspective while dusting away the problems of daily life. Art is not a thing, it is a WAY!
    From marine life to even a high-speed train, this festival has it all! Even cooler at night! But that one of my man Qin Shihuang looks so epic. I've been fascinated with Chinese culture ever since I was 8 and it doesn't take long to see why the Chinese so proud of their rich history.

    "One that spells Brexit, took 3 years to make and doesn't fly" 💀The Tories have been real quiet since Stu dropped this diss track. 😂Yup, even we sent a team to participate in the festival, as shown by our flag at 0:49. Shame you didn't get to talk to them. Maybe you should learn some Korean in Hunchun in Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture (since it's not a place people think of) and visit the volcano Paektu/Changbai on the border, or perhaps Dandong in Liaoning and see our city of Sinuiju across the Yalu! Tomatoes are originally from the Americas as the wild ancestor of the tomato is currant tomato which is native to Ecuador and Peru (and the Spanish saw them being domesticated by the Aztecs in Mexico), but it's great to see places in rural China be revitalized by growing tomatoes and thus, putting these rural villages on the map.

Especially at nighttime, those large, light--up ones look so cool against the night sky and give me amusement park/local fair/carnival vibes!

    When I was 10 years old and my brother 12 in 1975 I remembered my father as a present brought us as a gift a Chinese kite from the San Francisco kite festival which was a traditional event at the west coast city SF. It was a 15 metre long dragon black on chrome like colour nontearing extra strong alaminum like paper with a range of 2km. robe length! My brother still keeps it I hope
