Feel a breeze outside? A classic outdoor pastime for kids in the spring of Hangzhou is literally flying a Kite. Eight parks in Hangzhou's Qiantang New Area will be ideal places for the entire family to enjoy the fun activity.

1. The Jinsha Lake Park (金沙湖公园) 

The Jinsha Lake Park is a popular place for people going for a spring outing. Clean water, golden beach, palm trees, hiking trails and romantic cherry blossoms, the park is one of the kite hotspots.

2. QianTang Eco-park (钱塘生态公园)

The site has a wetland garden with lush grass and trees, the terraced landscape and a stretch of green lawn. The children's play area, fitness area, and running area are fully equipped around the park, which is also a good place for recreation.

The spot features trees, flowers fields, and a large carpet of green grass, where families bring kites and picnics and catch the breeze together.

4. The Riverside Lawn (沿江草坪)

With a river view and an open field, the lawn alongside the Qiantang River is the best place in the city to catch some wind and fly a kite. Taking a nap on the lawn on a clear, breezy day is also enjoyable.
