YINCHUAN, Northwest China -- The 2009 international kite-flying festival will be held in Yinchuan, capital city of northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region between April 30 and May 10.

Kite lovers from more than 10 countries, including South Korea and Germany, will attend the event. Kite-flying teams from Taiyuan, Beijing, Nanjing and other cities of China will also take part in the competition and demonstration.

Meanwhile, a 300-meter-long snake-shaped kite, which is believed to be the biggest kite in the world, will be flown into the sky during the festival to amuse fans.

With a history of 2,300 years, Chinese kite art has developed into a popular sport event, contested in terms of kite's shape, color and flying techniques.
