It is a well frequented location for folk residing on the southside of Hong Kong Island, but for others that live further north, Po Toi is a relatively unknown quantity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Littered with sculpted granite outcrops and sparse tree cover to obscure the horizon, hiking here is never dull with near constant ocean vistas to stimulate the senses. However, be warned; as with many scenic places in Hong Kong, if you have the opportunity to visit on a weekday then this is my absolute recommendation. On a weekday you will pretty much have the island to yourself, whereas on weekends be prepared to contend with queues for busy boats, trails and cafes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/your-guide-to-exploring-the-soko-islands\/\">Explore the Soko Islands<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CK1RTTIjIVE\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;

From Aberdeen Pier, there is a return kaito service which operates on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays and takes approximately one hour each way. Alternatively, on weekends and public holidays there is a shorter kaito service from the Stanley Blake Pier. The ferry trip flies by and in no time Po Toi comes into view. The kaito alights at a small pier next to the islands\u2019 only village. It\u2019s important to know that here lie the only&nbsp; amenities, so load up on food and drink before venturing elsewhere and there is no harm in taking a short stroll across to the beautifully situated Tin Hau temple nearby too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For day trippers there are essentially two options when it comes to exploring the island&#8217;s footpaths; up over the hills, looping back along the coast or the more conservative option of making a return route following the shoreline. In the summer\u00a0 months, think carefully before hiking over the hills as the route has little to zero shade. The overland trail climbs one main hill then drops back down to the coast, taking an hour or two to negotiate. No matter which of the two routes is taken, one will arrive at Po Toi\u2019s southern promontory where Po Toi Lighthouse is\u00a0 located. For me this is easily one of the most scenic places in Hong Kong, with views across the Pacific, dotted with various Chinese Islands forming the Wanshan archipelago. This lighthouse trail makes a short loop before rejoining the main coastal route.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/your-guide-to-exploring-yim-tin-tsai-island\/\">Your guide to Yim Tin Tsai Island<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CQpZGQzja5B\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;
