Po Toi 



Po Toi is the main island of the Po Toi Islands and the southern-most island of Hong Kong, with an area of 3.69 km².

Po Toi is famous for its rock formations, such as the Buddha Hand Rock aka. Palm Cliff, the Coffin Rock, the Tortoise Climbing up the Mountain and the Supine Monk.

Ancient rock carvings on the island, believed to date back to the Bronze Age (around 1500-700 BC), were discovered in the 1960s. They have been listed as declared monuments of Hong Kong since 1979. These may be viewed on a spur-track on the track that runs between the main harbour (Tai Wan), and the lighthouse.

A Tin Hau Temple is located on Po Toi, facing the bay of Tai Wan. While its construction date is unknown, it is documented that the temple was renovated in 1893.

Mo's Old House, or the "Deserted Mansion of Family Mo", usually referred to as the "Haunted House", is a popular venue of "adventure" for the young visitors. The existing house was built in the 1930s at Chang Shek Pai and has fallen into ruins.

There is a lighthouse on Po Toi. The island is also an ideal place for skywatch.
