What time is it? Maritime! Grab the kids for a day trip to Hong Kong’s tiny Po Toi Island and sample some of the best calamari in Hong Kong! Just three kilometers off Hong Kong Island’s southeastern tip, Po Toi feels like miles away from busy city life. The island is a popular junk spot but also may be reached by ferry from Stanley and Aberdeen.
The Po Toi Hot List:
The perfect family-friendly getaway combing good food, sun, beach, and sea.
Families seeking a memorable day trip that does not take much planning.
On busy weekend days, be sure to reserve a table for your group in advance at Ming Kee Restaurant as it gets packed. You can BYOB or select from the wine list, which is surprisingly pretty good. Cloudy Bay anyone?
