Tomachina
a Chinese version of La Tomatina Wanjiang Township in China was the venue for a massive tomato fight
Imitation
• The event was an imitation of La Tomatina, the annual tomato fight held in the Spanish town of Bunol, near Valencia.
• A war began and ended in China Sunday, staining the streets crimson red. But the thick red liquid that flowed throughout Wanjiang Township wasn't blood, it was tomato juice.
• Inspired by the Tomatina Festival held annually in Bunol, Spain, the Chinese held an imitation of the famous tomato fight using about 15 tons of tomatoes.
