Do not enter sign. In 2004, on a very windy day (almost typhoon strength), Zama's giant kite broke in the air and crashed to the ground onto spectators (who got hurt) on the side, right beyond the carp streamers in this picture. 176 viewsSo from 2005, they have become very strict and cordoned off the area where the kite crashed.

The kite pullers can only run so far (about 50 meters or so). After that, if the wind doesn't kick in, the kite falls back down.120 views
