In addition to displays of kites, the museum has historical documents, models and videos depicting the history and culture of kites.

Even without wind, Li Naigang, vice-director of the museum, can fly a kite indoors. He does this performance with a specially made kite in the museum during his spare time.

He said he first saw indoor kite-flying in 2007 by an overseas team at the annual Weifang International Kite Festival. He then spent more than a year studying the techniques himself.

He said the museum attracts about 100,000 visitors a year.

"The museum is a window through which we showcase the kite culture across the world," he said.
