Title: New (?) Ferry to Po Toi 往蒲台島的「富裕渡輪」
Post by Mike Turnbull on Sep 14^th, 2004, 9:25pm

Apologies if this is already widely known, but not having visited since the spring it was news to me to discover that there is a new ferry service to Po Toi. It means you can now visit on a Friday, leaving North Point at 0915 h and returning from PT at 1400h, with a journey time of 70 mins. There's also a service on w/ends and Pub hols, leaving Npoint at 0915h and calling at Kwun Tong at 0930h. This one leaves PT at 1530h, and the journey time is 80mins (PT>NP, and vice versa).

Cost is $20 o/w, $40return.

Hope it lasts, but can't see it leading to a property boom on PT!

Should have said it's with Fortune Ferry Co. Ltd. (tel. 2994-8155, www.fortuneferry.com.hk).

There is also a new eating and accommodation option just past the main (Ming Kee) restaurant as you walk away from the Ferry Pier. Called Po Toi Douh (Something??) Kee Si Do, contact nos appear to be 9327 1502 and 9169 6005 (Mon to Sat) and 2849 6829 on Sun. and pub hols. However, for non-Cantonese speakers, I should add there's no indication they speak any English.
