In his speech, Liu Yun said that after 42 years of innovative development, the Weifang International Kite Festival has become a shining name card of open development for Weifang to embrace the world and for the world to know Weifang. It has built a bridge for cultural exchanges and economic cooperation between Weifang and the world, playing an important role in promoting openness, cooperation, and win-win development. Today's Weifang is like a giant kite soaring into the sky, rising high with the tide of openness and development in the new era. With industry as its backbone, Weifang is committed to building a strong city with powerful momentum for growth and innovation. With technology as its wings, it strives to foster new quality productive forces and vibrant competitiveness. With openness as its driving force, it aims to develop into a frontier hub that is accessible, convenient, and inclusive. With culture as its soul, it works to build a culturally renowned city with deep heritage and lasting traditions. It is hoped that media friends at home and abroad will continue to focus on Weifang, promote Weifang, and tell its stories, working together to compose a splendid chapter of harmony and shared prosperity through mutual exchange and achievement.
The event released the 2025 Weifang Kite Carnival Autumn Series, featuring cultural industries such as kites and supporting policies. A representative inheritor of Weifang's kite-related intangible cultural heritage shared creation stories. The 2025 Weifang Kite Carnival Autumn Series highlights four dimensions of competition, culture, health and trade, and will run from late September to late October, including more than 20 events such as a kite-flying celebration marking the 76th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the 2025 New Year Painting Heritage and Development Conference, the 2025 Weifang Marathon, and Weifang 2025 Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival.
