I love kites, but I haven't flown in a while, but now I want to get them back out. I lived in Beijing for quite a few years and I would go hang out with the old retired guys who flew kites practically every day. at the nearby park. I ended up going to a kite market that was outside of town and bought several kites, a couple of reels, one with 1000m of line, all for 150rmb, which at the time was just under $20US. I liked them so much I bought several more and then bought a golf club travel case to bring them back with me one Christmas, although sadly I don't think anyone I gave kites to ever flew them. Other good kiting memories (back when China was still fun), include the night kites. There was a bridge over a moat along the second ring road. On nights where there was a nice breeze, a few guys who had kites with LEDs on their lines and on their kites would meet, it was awesome watching these kites with flashing lights suspended in the dark. I had a friend from Weifang, and one of my big regrets was to never make it to the Weifang International Kite Festival there. I had a foreign friend who went and said it was amazing.
