Weifang Kite Festival 2007

On the weekend of April 21, we traveled to Qingdao and on to Weifang for the annual Kite Festival.
The images attached cannot do justice to the beauty and size of some of the kites, many well over 100 feet long. After the festival, we toured areas around Qingdao.
Enjoy!

Dear Mr. Wright: It would be great if the doctoral student Chen could sent a copy of his thesis about the kite festival to the World Kite Museum at Long Beach Washington for our library. I participated in the 4th Annual Weifang International Kite Festival in 1987 with Kay Buesing now director of the World Kite Museum. We had a great time and the museum has had many exchanges with China over the years. See worldkitemuseum.com Jim Mockford

Dear Mr. Jim Wright: I am a doctoral student in USA.I am a Chinese American. I am writing a research article about the Weifang Kite Festival. My Kite Festival proposal has been accepted by an anthology. I would like to ask could I include some (about 4-5) of your beautiful kite photos in my article? If I have the pleasure, I will email the Photo release consent form to you. I will put your name with your photos in my article. After published, I will send you a copy of my article. If you have more questions please don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Chen

ALL your photos bring back wonderful memories of our year in China. We visited Qingdao during the kite festival - was great but also the mountain and sea. I'm sure you have mixed emotions about returning home in a short while. It's called miserable joy! Thanks for sharing all your photos with us. Rochelle Mooth

They're great. Glad you had a good time in Qingdao. I can see that you saw many more large kites by going early to the kite field. Very educational for me also. DeVon Nelson
