  • Turn right to the pier at Ngau Wu Teng
The path ascending to Ngau Wu Teng is steep and sometimes overgrown
Poi Toi island features lots of famous rocks. Climbing the barren slope and hiking through the shrubbery path in the first section are tougher, yet it offers natural landscape. The concrete paved trail of the later section is much easier but it doesn’t blend in well with the natural settings.
In company with my friends, I visited Po Toi in 2005. Because of mistakenly taking an overgrown path, two of them decided to follow a relatively easier country trail and the rest of us headed to Ngau Wu Teng as planned. Later we arrived at the pavillion sits on Ngau Wu Teng at about the same time, continuing our journey together.

Apart from the rocks mentioned above, there are other famous scenic spots on Po Toi, for instance, the abandoned Old Mo's House and the Coffin Rock, which we did not have time to visit. The rock carving was located at the sea side on our way back to the pier, but it has been severely weathered, making it almost unnoticeable.
