This year's event will combine sport, culture, and tourism along the picturesque coast of the East China Sea. Top domestic and international teams will perform dual-line and quad-line formation flying, kite ballet, and aerial duels on one of the longest coastal beaches in the Yangtze River Delta region.

Known as one of China's highest-level kite events, the competition transforms the sky into a stage of motion and color where music, wind, and craftsmanship merge into spectacular displays of aerial artistry.
