Visiting Po Toi Island And Mee King Restaurant In Hong Kong
A Perfect Island Adventure For Families
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:
- Bring the kids and doggies on an exciting sea journey to the island.
- Dine alfresco on a huge outdoor wooden deck at Hong Kong’s top calamari restaurant (order extra garlic for dipping).
- Take a leisurely stroll to Tin Hau Temple and get snap-happy with your camera. The views are amazing!
- Hike along to the right shore and check out historical carvings and rock formations. Kids can try and locate Turtle Rock. Monk Rock, and Buddha’s Palm.
- Walk the Central Trail to visit Old Mo’s House where the Japanese stayed during WWII.
Why Little Steps Loves It:
The perfect family-friendly getaway combing good food, sun, beach, and sea.
Who It's Perfect For:
Families seeking a memorable day trip that does not take much planning.
What Else:
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?
