Eyewitness footage shows a little girl who was carried more than 100 feet through the air by a kite at a festival in Taiwan.

The three-year-old tot became entangled in the giant orange kite during a festival in Nanliao on Sunday afternoon (August 30).

The event was taking place near the sea when the toddler was caught up in the huge, long-tailed kite which were being blown up by strong winds. She became entangled in its strings, which lifted her above the crowd below.

The incident was captured on camera by Dainese Hsu. She is from northern Hsinchu city and is not a relative of the girl.

As the kite is launched through the air, the little girl was hanging from the end, wrapped tightly in its brightly coloured embraced.

Festival workers battled to bring her back to earth as onlookers stood below.

The girl landed a short while later with several adults rushing to her rescue. She was reportedly shaken but unharmed by the accident.
