Kite exhibition attracts int’l artisans
More than 20 countries across the globe are showcasing over 200 kites of various shapes and colours at the Vietnam International Kite Exhibition, which opened in the Red River Delta province of Nam Dinh on June 28.
The three-day event aims to create a playground for Vietnamese and international artisans to exchange and learn from each other, contributing to highlighting the traditional cultural features of people in the Red River Delta and the unique characteristics of Hue kite art.
Along with a number of traditional kites from the UK, Germany, Japan and Cambodia, the giant Uncle Teu kite (8m long and 2m wide) made by the Hanoi Kites Club, which has joined a number of international festivals, is presented at the event.
Nearly 30 kites decorated with LED lights dazzled audiences in a night kite flying performance on the same day.
