Kite accessories
Traditional kite reels usually consist of wooden handles and cotton threads. There are also hand-cranked reels that are stronger and easier to handle and repair.
Kite flying hotspots
Tai Ya Gate in Clear Water Bay is one of the famous kite flying spots in Hong Kong. It has a wide view and can overlook the beautiful scenery of the mountains and sea. On a clear day, colorful kites in the sky add a bit of movement and vitality to the landscape.
In addition to Daya Gate, Lobster Bay is also a popular kite flying spot. With wide meadows and expansive sea views, it's perfect for kite flying.
Sport kites
In addition to the traditional single-line kite, there is also a new type of kite called the double-line sport kite. This kite is controlled by two lines and can perform various fancy maneuvers in the air, such as flying left and right, diving, and spinning, etc., bringing more fun to kite lovers.

Homemade kites
Although a variety of kites are now readily available, homemade kites are still a fun activity. In Hong Kong, especially in the fifties and sixties, homemade kites are a childhood memory for many people. Kites are usually made using a thin piece of paper (such as horse-drawn paper) and bamboo strips are used as a skeleton. The production process not only fosters hands-on skills, but also stimulates creativity.
Make simple homemade kites
Whether you're buying a ready-made kite or making your own, kite flying is an activity that gives people a sense of freedom and joy. Not only does it bring fun, but it also allows people to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the beauty of nature.
