The Weifang World Kite Museum is the definitive collection of kite culture from China and beyond — and in terms of depth, craftsmanship, and historical range, it is one of the more remarkable specialist museums in China. The Chinese collection traces Weifang's own tradition from its classical forms through the 20th century, with examples of the distinctive "hard-wing" kites that use rigid bamboo frames to achieve stability at high altitude, alongside the elaborate centipede kites that can extend for hundreds of meters and require multiple people to fly.
The international section spans kites from Japan, Korea, Indonesia, India, and Europe, organized by construction technique and cultural context. The museum is at coordinates matching the Wikipedia entry and is open daily except Monday. Admission is modest, and the building itself — designed to suggest a kite in plan — is worth a look from the outside.
