(Baonghean.vn) - Coming to Long Thanh commune, Yen Thanh, Nghe An in the summer, you can not only see the vast rice fields but also admire the giant kites flying in the deep blue sky.
 |
Long Thanh residents say that summer is the "playful season" for men here because they spend most of their free time, staying up all night meticulously making giant kites. The kite flute game is a beautiful cultural feature that has existed since ancient times in this land. |
 |
Every summer afternoon in the village fields, the villagers of Giap Bon and Giap Ngoi enjoy flying kites. |
 |
| Kite flying is not only a passion for adults but also a wonderful childhood for children. |
 |
The owner of the kite, which is over 5.2 meters long and has 9 flutes, is Mr. Nguyen Van Chinh, from Van Trang hamlet. It took him and his son more than a month to complete this kite flute. In the photo, Mr. Chinh (right) is assembling the flute into the kite. |

The flutes were elaborately carved by Mr. Chinh. |

Assemble the parts to prepare to fly the kite. |
 |
| Kite flutes are made of old bamboo tubes or yellow heart wood. |
 |
Depending on each person's preference, kites can have one or more flutes and be "painted" and decorated differently. |
 |
It takes 3-5 people to fly these giant kites. |
 |
Many people gathered to watch the kite flying. |
 |
| When it gets dark, the kite players lower the kite and install lights, so at night looking up at the sky you will see sparkling lights on the kites. |
 |
The kite flew high in the wind, the flute sounded, making the whole sky tremble in the joy of everyone. |
 |
| Kites in Long Thanh are made of simple materials: bamboo frames, wings made of packaging or nylon tarpaulin. |
