After a long interruption, Ba Duong Noi’s thousand-year-old kite festival has been revived recently and is now flourishing, becoming the cradle of Vietnam’s kite flute culture.
Only Ba Duong Noi village holds a traditional kite flying competition associated with a temple dedicated to deities.
The kite flying competition has expanded in recent years, attracting kite clubs from various northern provinces.
Kites entered into the competition must meet specific size and flute requirements.
With a history spanning a thousand years, Ba Duong Noi’s kite flutes have carried on the tradition, participating in many international kite festivals abroad.
While kite flying is popular in many countries around the world, the mention of kite flutes immediately brings to mind Vietnamese kites. In Ba Duong Noi, the kite flute festival continues to thrive, symbolising hopes for prosperous farming and economic development./.
