Ⅰ. History
Kite is considered a toy only by many people in Taiwan; however, it is sometimes viewed as a tool for communication, investigation, or secret attack. “Flying kite on Tomb-sweeping Festival”is a good time to get rid of bad luck and evil spirits. In fact, kite is also a tool combined with history, art, and science. Some examples can be seen in many countries around the world where kites are being used for various occasions. This tradition was originally from Fugen Province in China, and people still fly kites in Tamshi, Shanzi, and Genshan District on Chanyan Festival every year.

Situated in the northern Taiwan, Shimen got its name from the natural sea erosion and mountain-forming movements in that region. It also boasts various scenic views such as beautiful beaches and special rocks. It also has many beautiful kites flying in the sky.

New Taipei City Government also hosts many local festivals to promote local cultures and traditions such as famous delicacies and natural scenic views. One example is the Kite Festival in Shimen which not only unites citizens’ minds, but also exchange various cultures from many places for better understanding and global recognition.
