LONG BEACH PENINSULA — You see lots of cute and funny kites here — a Hello Kitty, a flying dragon, a train floating on air as if it were off track. The range is broad, that's for sure.
But I didn't drive three hours to the southwest corner of the state for that. I didn't come to the kite-flying mecca at the start of kite-flying season just to watch a kite float like some stray red balloon.
No. This is what I came for: It flew sideways, this stunt kite Rae Bohn was showing off to me. It performed a figure 8, then spun as if it were out of control and nose-dived, destined for its demise in a dune, only to speed up again.
Not the Chinese dragon kites, maybe the Chinese butterfly kite or any other (simple) designs. Also, what other types of Chinese kites are there?
Thanks for any help, I reallllyyy appreciate it!
Does anyone know how to write "kite" in chinese symbols? I am doing a project on chinese kites and I was going to make chinese symbols that say kite be the title of my poster, any sites that can give me this? Google isn't really helping me at
