Haibao, the mascot of 2010 Shanghai Expo, is a blue Chinese character "Ren", or a "human-shaped" form. A combination of tradition and modernity, the mascot represents the "treasures of the sea".

Jilin Province has seven statues of Haibao, three of which are placed in the city of Changchun, capital of Jilin Province. The statues are now in Changchun Longjia International Airport, Changchun Jingyuetan national forest park and Changchun International Conference and Exhibition Center.
