Inside a workshop of the Yangjiabu Folk Art Grand View Garden in Weifang, Shandong Province in China, several workers are busy making kites. This process includes the likes of kite drawing and frame making.

Yangjiabu’s kite-making heritage dates back to more than 600 years ago. Xu Yang, an inheritor of the Weifang kite art skill, developed her love for kite-making when she was just a child. She learned kite-making and painting skills at the Yangjiabu Folk Art Grand View Garden and was also taught by her aunt.
