HONG KONG – A little island at Hong Kong’s southernmost point draws hundreds of visitors every weekend, despite being so remote that it has fewer than 10 residents and potable water is delivered there by boat.
Po Toi, sometimes described as Hong Kong’s South Pole, is as inhospitable as islands come: It doesn’t have its own freshwater or power supply, and has just one main public toilet and one proper restaurant. Transport from the city to the island isn’t even available every day.
