The International Kite Festival 2011 @ Pasir Gudang, Johor

We visited The International Kite Festival 2011 on the Saturday morning and it was not a good weather that day...As usual, the Bukit Layang Layang (Kite Hill) (N1.47480 E103.90641) area was crowded and packed with peoples everywhere...

The Kite Museum of Bukit Layang Layang, Pasir Gudang

This time, I don't really take note on the stalls along the way, it was almost the same every year. There was a group of children that cheer up the area! I like to see those smile on their face! :)

The group of school children

We went to the field immediately and trying to catch some actions with the kites around...I believe the groups from all over the World are the same as previous year.

Country flags of all the participants

It was not a sunny day and also Not windy at all! I believe that was a bad news for all the Big Giant Kites in the field...
I managed to took some photos on the sky...during that time, most of the huge kites were lying on the field.

You can see the Big Kite every year...

The Malaysia flag

Follow by the Brotherhood of Stingrays...

Some of the Big heavy kites trying very hard to fly, but...unfortunately the wind was Not strong enough to lift them...too bad, we don't have a change to snap the Big kites too! :(

The Big Kites trying hard to lift up, but...

Suddenly the sky does not corporate enough and heavy down pour without a notice! Everyone ran like hell to find a place to hide! Except those in the field...I saw them really enjoyed dancing in the rain...haha!

Some actions on the ground...

Doesn't matter rain or shine...

I like this action!

After the rain stop, we saw a really Nice scene! Many young boys and girls suddenly ran into the field with their little kites in hand! That was Great!!

We were there for about 2 hours, then the rain started to pour again...that spoiled our moods to continue watching the beautiful kites flying...and all of them were just lying on the field...
Disappointed! We will be back again next year!

International Kite Festival 2009 - Pasir Gudang, Johor.

This year the International Kite Festival fall on 17th FEB - 22nd FEB 2009.
There are total 26 countries participate and more than 200 contestants.

I visited the Bukit Layang-Layang (Kite Hill) (N1°28.552' E103°54.254') on the forth day, to avoid the crowded situation at the weekend.

Quite lucky that, the place were not the pack! Many parking lots available. That time was 5pm.


There were many stalls selling souvenirs and also 'Kite'. The price for one kite (MYR2.00) was rather cheap!
