One of the biggest kite festivals in the World is held in year in the Chinese City of Weifang. People come from all over China and the world to compete in various categories such as biggest kite. highest kite and stunt kite flying. This Chinese team tried several time to launch their aeroplane hampered by insufficient wind Eventually they got it to about 20 meters when it dropped again due to lack of wind It was tricky to take the shot as I was under the kite and risked spoiling the launch if I got in the way!
