One of the most attended and most unique Beijing events is the Beijing Kite Flying Festival. This event is recognized each year by wonderfully colored kites covering the sky above. Kite flying is over a 100 year tradition in China, and the Beijing Kite Flying Festival carries on this tradition.

If you are adventuring through Beijing in April and are interested in attending an unique and exciting Beijing entertainment experience, the Beijing Kite Flying Festival is the event for you. The colorful kites seen above may be shaped as various creatures like dragons, and don’t be surprised if you see kites doing acrobatic tricks and flips.

In addition to flying for fun at the Beijing Kite Flying Festival there will be dragon dances, music, international kite teams, kite displays, and more. The incredible festival will be held at Chaoyang Park, a gorgeous venue for any event. The Beijing Kite Flying Festival is an entirely free event, catering to each and every travel budget. The date for the Beijing Kite Flying Festival is still to be confirmed.
