Haibao proves popular at Expo exhibition in Hong Kong (with photos/video)
************************************************************

     Haibao, the mascot of Expo 2010 Shanghai China (Shanghai Expo), proved to be a popular attraction for visitors to an exhibition at Festival Walk that began today (April 30) and runs until Sunday (May 2).

     The exhibition highlights Hong Kong's participation at the Shanghai Expo, which gets under way in Shanghai tomorrow (May 1).

     Apart from posing for photos with Haibao, many visitors also participated in an on-site lucky draw for a chance to win a specially designed souvenir photo and frame that echoes Hong Kong's Pavilion and Urban Best Practices Area (UBPA) Exhibition at the Expo.

     The three-day Festival Walk exhibition is open from 10am to 10pm, with the lucky draw being held from 10am until 9pm each day.

     Haibao will also be on site to welcome visitors throughout the exhibition period.
