Summer comes, children in the countryside of the province are excited about flying kites. Flying kites is an attractive and healthy folk pastime of childhood.
The countryside after harvest or entering the planting season is an attractive playground for rural children, especially for kite flying. Children can invite groups of friends to go to the fields or follow their parents to work in the fields to fly kites.

Families should not let their children go out too early, exposed to the harsh sunlight, or come back too late, when the sunset has fallen over the fields.
