Wei Yuantai, a kite-making master who has been in the trade for 70 years, has contributed greatly to the development of the handicraft. He has improved the conventional designs and created foldable kites.
Wei's kites display lifelike imitation of the subjects, good choice of colours and fine workmanship. Moreover, they are made of high quality materials such as silk and satin for the sail, and fine, long and flexible bamboo strips for the frame.
