TomaChina - Presentation Transcript
- 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.
- The tomatoes were squished before throwing to prevent injury
- 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.
- In a nod to the tomato war's Spanish origins, the event featured flamenco dancers..
- ......and Spanish stories acted out through the medium of dance
- The event was organised by the South China Mall and the Dongguan Tourism Bureau
- Wanjiang Township in China was the venue for a massive tomato fight
