Kite Painting in HuePaint your own paper kite with a local kite maker
Kite flying has a long history in Hue. A local kite maker shows you how the bamboo frame and paper fit together, then each of you paints your own kite: a dragon, a butterfly, a fish. If the wind is kind, you take it outside for a first flight.
