Here is a site of kitemaster Chen Zhao Ji. Most of his framework, turbines, gears and moving parts are made of bamboo!

Thank you for visiting and linking to my website. The pages portraying Chen Zhaoji at work are part of my documentary film-in-progress, Wind Above, Earth Below.

I am currently redesigning the site. Just to let you know, the link to Chen Zhaoji's page has changed. You can now find Mr. Chen's page at

great, I can't wait to see the final film. Have you contacted the Drachen Foundation? I'm sure they will be interested in your film too. I had a chance to set up a display of some of Chen's kites a few years ago. They are truly incredible!
