Flying kites is a popular past time in our country. There are kites in different shapes, colours and sizes. August is the best season to fly kites in Sri Lanka because it is dry and windy. Kites are flown in open areas such as paddy fields and beaches. An International Kite Festival is also held in Sri Lanka. It is believed that the first kite was made in China. The Chinese consider the kite as a symbol of fortune. I like the enjoyable activity of flying kite very much.
