		As for Po Toi, a rocky, barren isle southeast of Hong Kong Island, it’s always been considered the Ghost Island by many locals.
		One of the joys of Po Toi used to be sitting at a table on the beach, our bare toes wriggling in the cool sand, but that area, too, has been paved over.
		Evidently on this island of ghosts, the Po Toi spirits are no longer quite so terrifying.

	Hong Kong Birdwatching Basics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Lying in the tropics, on migration routes for birds breeding from Japan west to Russia and north China, and boasting a range of habitats including the world-renowned Mai Po Marshes Nature Reserve, Hong Kong is an excellent place for birdwatching.
		While Mai Po is Hong Kong’s best place for birdwatching, it’s far from being the only one.
		Then, there are wooded coastal sites, including on islands; but these hold few residents, so you may want to know more about how Hong Kong’s birds vary with the seasons – and weather – before planning a trip.

		There is no path on Beaufort Island so to get to the top required to struggle through the bush, climbing rocks, slubs etc. A lot of fun.
		The top of Beaufort Island is quite flat and the view over souther coast of Hong Kong Island is quite stunning
