The Art of Kiting


Fun
風箏樂趣多



Kiting is an activity that is enjoyed in all the corners of the globe. It not only involves flying them, but also designing, creating, and building them. A lot of skill goes into the designs of kites. They can be made to look like animals and mythological creatures, or they can be made just for decoration using high-end materials. Requiring whole teams of handlers to launch into the air, some kites are controlled with more strings than you can count. There is nothing more beautiful than seeing hundreds of vibrantly colored kites swimming across the sky. That is why it is not surprising that kiting has grown into a culture of its own.



中譯

全球各地的人都喜愛放風箏。放風箏不只是讓風箏飛起來而已,還包含了設計、創造及做出風箏來。風箏設計使用了很多技巧。風箏可以做得看起來像是動物、神話中的生物或者只是用高檔材料所製成的裝飾品。有些風箏所用的控制線多到數不清而需要動用一整個隊伍的操作者來使風箏升空。沒有什麼比看著數百個色彩鮮豔的風箏遨遊在天際之中還美的景象了。也正因如此,不意外地風箏已逐漸發展出自己的文化
