Located in central Shandong Peninsula, the City of Weifang has a long history. As early as more than 7,000 years ago, there were people settling down in the area. The Weifang World Kite Museum is the first large-scale kite museum in China. Modeled after a dragon-headed centipede, a common type of kite in Weifang, the museum has an assembled porcelain giant dragon as its roof ridge and the roof is covered with peacock blue glazed tiles. The building is just like a dragon flying in the sky. The museum is dedicated to collecting and displaying kite treasures of all times and all countries as well as kite-related cultural relics and materials. In the exhibition rooms covering a total of 2,000 square meters, a lot of things are on display, including the history, types, innovations of kites, the Weifang International Kite Festival, friendly exchanges in the kite circle, the profile of Weifang and so on. |
