While the exact date and origin of the kite is unknown, it is believed to have been flown in China over two thousand years ago. One legend suggests that the first kite was born when a Chinese farmer tied a string to his hat to keep it from blowing away in a strong wind. From China, the kite was introduced to Asia, then Europe, until it spread throughout other countries around the world.

The Chinese Dragon Kite is a replica of a traditional painted kite used during Chinese celebrations. With colours so vivid and flamboyant, it is sure to brighten up the skies! One may be intimidated by this giant kite with its rather lengthy 30-foot tail, but it is actually easy to fly. And for days that are not very ideal for kite-flying, you can mount the Chinese Dragon Kite on a wall and turn it into a fantastic wall décor.
