Wau bulan ( Kelantanese: Wa bule; Jawi: واو بولن ; lit. ' moon kite') is an intricately designed Malaysian kite (normally with floral motifs) that is traditionally flown in the Malaysian state of Kelantan. It is one of Malaysia's national symbols, some others being the hibiscus.
Huge, highly decorative kites (wau), made primarily in the east coast states of Kelantan and Terengganu, are noteworthy for their size, design, craftsmanship, decoration and use of colour. A wau may measure two metres (seven feet) from head to tail and 1.8 metres (six feet) across.
With its delicate paper form and its intricate floral designs, the Malaysian Wau kite is visually enchanting. Despite its beauty, the Wau is far from passively decorative. Steeped in history and tradition, Wau fly high and gracefully, producing a humming sound created by a noisemaker known as a hummer.
