Po Toi Islands - Definition and Overview

The Poi To islands (蒲苔群島) are a small group of sparsely inhabited islands (a population of around 200) located south-east of Hong Kong Island, off Stanley, Hong Kong.

The islands are notable for interesting rock formations, and open air seafood restaurants. One of the islands has a haunted house, and some rock carvings supposed to be the epitaph of an emperor who died on or near Po Toi.

Po Toi Islands include:

• Beaufort Island (螺洲)
• Po Toi Island (蒲苔島) - 3.69 km²
• Sung Kong (宋崗)
• Waglan Island (橫瀾島)

The islands are accessible mostly by private ferry or water taxi. Some scheduled ferries connect Po Toi island with Aberdeen Harbour, Stanley, North Point and Kwun Tong.
