Po Toi Islands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Po Toi islands (commonly Chinese: 蒲台羣島, originally 蒲苔羣島) are a small group of islands with a population of around 200, south-east of Hong Kong Island, off Stanley, in 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 (蒲台島, originally 蒲苔島) - 3.69 km²
- Sung Kong (宋崗)
