Haibao, the mascot of World Expo 2010 Shanghai China (Shanghai Expo), has just been moved to Hong Kong Park to encourage people to visit Shanghai Expo from now till the end of October.
Haibao has enjoyed some good times in Sha Tin Park for the past six months, and has now found a new home in the Central business district to promote Shanghai Expo.
Haibao's city tour is an integral part of the Government's ongoing efforts to promote Hong Kong's participation in Shanghai Expo.
