Hundreds fly their kites around Hau River Park daily for pleasure
Nguyen Thi Thanh Trang, who sells kites at Xuan Khanh Market, said, “Even though the kite season doesn't usually peak until March, I and several others decided to start selling right after Tet because of the early winds."
According to Trang, this year prices for large kites have increased by between VND10,000 and VND15,000 (USD0.50-USD0.70), and smaller ones by between VND3,000 and VND5,000 (USD0.14-USD0.23).
People often gather around Can Tho University’s stadium, or Quang Trung and Con Khuong Bridges to fly kites, but Hau River Park seems to have become the most attractive spot, often seeing 500 to 600 people every day, and sometimes as many as 1,000.
Hau is part of a sort of informal kite search and rescue group, who find lost kites and resell them. Last year he said he earned VND70,000-100,000 (USD3.34-USD4.7 a day, but is worried about more competitors this year.
“I can make anywhere from VND10,000 to 20,000 (USD0.50-USD0.95) finding a kite. We sell them at about half the price they would cost new,” Hau said. |

Power kites and traction kites have only been around since the 1970s, but have undergone a lot of technological improvement since then. Since the turn of the millennium, these kites have become popular in a wide range of outdoor sports. For example, kite surfing and snow kiting. The kite becomes the 'engine' for these activities. Rectangular designs flown on 2 lines gave way to 4 line designs with brakes for steering.
