The kite artisans competed in two categories of kite design and kite making,
with Song An team from Thai Binh province claiming the top position in both
categories.
The participants also had a chance to show off their talents and skills in the
traditional craft while sharing experience with each other.
The festival is the starting event of upcoming kite festivals and competitions
which will be held annually in cities and provinces nationwide.
It is among a series of activities being hosted by the Department of Culture,
Sports and Tourism of Nam Dinh province to stimulate the local tourism sector
after COVID-19.
It also seeks to preserve flute kite playing, a folk game which has recently
been recognised as a national intangible cultural heritage, while creating a new
tourist product to entertain visitors.
