The 2nd International Student Kite Flying Festival of Xi’an Jiaotong University (XJTU) was held in Duyi Heritage Park, Xi’an, Northwest China’s Shaanxi Province, on April 7, with international students participating in a kite drawing and flying contest.

At the kite drawing contest, students depicted the university gate and the logo and wrote blessing words on their kites to express their best wishes for the university’s 125th anniversary.

During the kite-flying contest, foreign students enjoyed steering the kite by moving the flying line, tilting or twisting the kite, steering it in any direction, and controlling its speed and height.

The International Student Kite Flying Festival is an annual activity held by the School of International Education of Xi’an Jiaotong University. It aims to help international students learn about traditional Chinese culture and understand its spirit and connotations.
