The Otaki Kite Festival, held from Feb 8-9 on the Otaki Beach in Wellington, New Zealand.

A red heart-shaped kite bearing the yellow characters “Zhongguo Jiayou”, meaning “China, stay strong” in English attracted many visitors’ eyes.

It’s the second year that Chinese kites have been featured in the festival, they attracted the attention and affection of viewers. Chinese kites in the shapes of giant pandas and Peking Opera masks soaring high in the sky fit harmoniously with those in the shapes of different ocean fish.
