Expo 2010 mascot Haibao moves to the famed Victoria Park.

Haibao, the mascot of the 2010 World Expo, has moved to the famed Victoria Park on his extended visit to Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government said yesterday.

Haibao, which arrived in Hong Kong late last year and had been on display at the Kowloon Park, moved the Victoria Park on June 1 and will remain there for six months until November 30, the HKSAR government said in a news bulletin.

It is expected to move on to the Sha Tin Park and the Hong Kong Park later.

Haibao's change of scenery coincides with the "Haibao Tour of the World," an online photo and image competition organized by the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination. The competition runs from May 27 until July 26.

Members of the public are encouraged to take snaps with Haibao or create their own artwork and submit them online at www.expo2010.cn.

The Hong Kong Pavilion will explore the theme "Hong Kong - the Infinite City" with a focus on its urban transport network, advanced scientific facilities, financial and trade systems, multinational culture and sustainable high-quality urban life.

Hong Kong's exhibition in the Urban Best Practices Area will introduce its widely-used smartcard to show how its people use innovative ways and technology to improve efficiency in city life and promote communication within the city and other parts of the world.
