Po Toi Rock Carving, Bronze Age rock carvings on Po Toi Island, Hong Kong.

The geometric patterns carved into the rocks at Po Toi display complex designs that span several meters across the stone surface.

Dating from 1500-700 BC, these rock carvings were found in the 1960s and received monument status from the Hong Kong government in 1979.

The carvings demonstrate the presence of ancient communities on Hong Kong's islands through their decorative patterns similar to Bronze Age pottery designs.

Visitors can reach the rock carvings via a marked path from Tai Wan harbor, with ferries operating from Aberdeen and Stanley several times per week.

The carvings become more visible under torch light at night, revealing intricate details in the stone that sunlight often masks during daytime viewing.
