Departing from Wan Chai Pier, it is considered the southernmost small island

It is said that this small island has a history of 3,500 years. In the past, the islanders lived by fishing and farming. But today, what we see here is a good place for camping and short trips on weekends. A Tin Hau Temple with a history of more than 170 years, a white lighthouse with 126 lights, a Buddha's hand rock, a sun-viewing pavilion, a small pier, looking at the map taken after the pier, the introduction of Po Toi Island is really lackluster. Few people, less communication, will quiet down to think, no water and electricity, no signal, the quiet island only has a seafood restaurant, two or three food shops, a nearly deserted small beach. The most impressive thing we encountered along the way was an old man selling local seaweed specialties, who introduced us to different hiking directions with a smile in vernacular, very much like Carl in 'Up'.

Po Toi
Hong Kong’s South Pole - Po Toi Island Day trip to Po Toi with kids’ buddies. Even at outdoor, mask on face at all time (maybe not, for photo purposes). So, where is this Po Toi I’m talking about? Po Toi located at the most southern of Hong Kong, hence the nickname “HK South Pole “. It is popular for its rocks formations and seaweeds; and of course camping and hiking with incredible views. Took the only ferry on Tuesday at 10am from Aberdeen to Po Toi. It’s approximately 45mins ride. Then begins our walk by turning left once leaving the pier, and continue walking in clockwise direction. It’s a circular trail. So you’ll be covering Old Mansion of Family Mo, Coffin Rock then stop at Ngau Wu Teng (which is the highest point of Po Toi) for some snacks and tea break. Then continue walking, it’s going downhill towards second part of the circular trail, with rocks formations such as tortoise rock, monk rock, palm cliff and passing the 126 lighthouse. This area in the southernmost circular trail. It is also the shortest, and most popular camping site on Po Toi Island. * Distance: approx 5km * Altitudes: 188m * Time: approx 3 hours (breaks included) * Toilet: cubicle toilet at pier and beginning point of circular trail part 2 * Difficulties: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (plenty of stairs heading up and down with no shades for 2/3 of the trail) * Scenic: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ How to get there: - from Aberdeen : Tues & Thurs depart at 10am , 3.30pm from Po Toi ; Sat at 10am or 3pm, 2pm or 4pm returning from Po Toi via Stanley; Sun at 8.15am with 6pm returning via Stanley. - from Stanley : Sat at 1.20pm, 2pm or 4pm from Po Toi; public holiday have 4 time slots back and forth.
