Weifang was officially designated as the "World Kite Capital" in 1988. On the occasion of the opening of the 43rd Weifang International Kite Festival, Russian international student Letskaya Eter stepped into Weifang to explore the mutual embrace between traditional Chinese culture and modern industries. As paper kites soar in the sky, one end is tied to a millennia-old cultural heritage, while the other connects to a massive industrial cluster — over 85% of the world's kites are produced here, with an annual output nearing 100 million pieces, exported to more than 50 countries and regions. Nowadays, kite manufacturing has achieved automation and large-scale production. In the humming workshops, every piece of equipment relies on the pulse of electricity. State Grid provides stable and reliable power to support industrial transformation and upgrading. By innovatively applying autonomous inspection technology using drone mobile airports, the inspection efficiency has been improved by 78% compared to traditional manual inspections. This injects powerful momentum into the millennia-old craft, propelling traditional techniques towards innovation and enabling Chinese stories to fly across the world on the wings of Weifang's paper kites.
