World City of Kites - Weifang




Weifang, City of Kites in Shandong, was also addressed as world kite capitol. The city was fully decorated in color with painted kites and nature beauty. Different kinds of beautiful flowers in striking colour were at every corners. Full blossom cherry trees at the central park or along the busy street of the city merrily announcing arrival of spring..



Peach blossom for Chinese is sign of prosperity, good luck and romance.



Cherry blossom is omen of good fortune and an emblem of love and affection for Japanese.



Looking at these lovely blooming flowers by the side of busy centre at town, traffic jam wasn't a matter in the town of Weifang.









The nine gun-shot salute to welcome those VIP to open ceremony for the international kite flying competition. This is a normal way in China to show the importance of occasions and the organization.









Sharing a joy with the elders excised at the central park square of Weifang. Kicking feather cork was a very economical and simple game we used to enjoy during schooling time. Glad to see that seniors enjoyed as it as a game and as a spot, as much as I did at my young age.
