Growing up in a big city, I believe that many of you have never flown a kite because Hong Kong does not have much wide-open space. Here are some tips for you:

How to fly a kite?

1. To launch a kite, you should slightly run into the wind and let it catch the kite.
2. Let the line out so that the wind can lift up the kite.
3. Once the kite is up to sky, hold the line to make sure it is not slack or too tight.

It sounds easy, but it requires good coordination and observation. You might need to practise a couple of times before successfully flying a kite.
