Antiquity
Po Toi Island: picturesque island escape offers natural and ancient wonders
Written by South China Morning Post (Morning Studio)
Hong Kong’s southernmost island of Po Toi, which is home to few inhabitants, offers a picturesque escape from the crowded bustling city. Get your camera ready to capture images of strange rock formations, ancient carvings and idyllic landscapes. The 3.69-square-km island, accessible from the city by small ferry boat, or kaito, is known for its craggy, quirkily named coastal outcrops, such as Conch Rock, Palm Cliff and Tortoise Rock. It’s also home to Bronze Age rock carvings dating back more than 3,000 years. You can easily explore the island by following the three crisscrossing hiking trails which offer exhilarating coastal views of the South China Sea.
Refuel
There are several village shops next to the ferry pier and in Tai Wan village. You can also buy soft drinks, but availability varies and is not guaranteed, so it’s best to bring your own snacks and drinks.
Transport

From Aberdeen Bus terminus on Wu Nam Street, take the subway under Aberdeen Praya Road and head towards the promenade and pier.

You can also take a 20-minute walk from MTR Wong Chuk Hang Station. The travel time between Aberdeen and Po Toi Island is about 50 minutes.
Weekends and public holidays
You can take a ferry from Aberdeen via Stanley or head straight from Aberdeen/Stanley Pier at weekends and on public holidays.
