Women in Changsha of central China's Hunan province greeted the upcoming International Women's Day in their own special way, with a pillow fight.

At a celebration held by a local theme park, the city's women reveled in the snow-white feathers fluttering from the pillows they wielded as weapons. Several of the pillows also contained presents.

All of the feathers will be recycled after the fight, for environmental reasons, the Xinhua News Agency reported.
