Haibao, meaning "jewel of the sea", is the mascot of Expo 2010, which was held in the city of Shanghai, China from May 1 to October 31, 2010.
"Hai" means the sea in Chinese inscribed from the name of the host city, and "Bao" means the treasure. Its figure is in the shape of the Chinese character "Ren" (meaning human). Haibao was produced by Taiwanese designer Wu Yong-jian and adopted as the official mascot of the World Expo on December 18, 2007. He was selected out of 26,655 entries as part of an international competition.
The creation of this plugin was not a sudden inspiration. The architectural plugins for the 2010 Shanghai World Expo are still being developed...
