Po Toi O (Chinese: 布袋澳; lit. 'Cloth Pouch Bay')[1] is a small fishing village[2] at Clear Water Bay Peninsula, Sai Kung, New Territories, Hong Kong.
The village is situated at a bay shaped like a sack, thus earning its name Po Toi (meaning a "sack"). Everyone living in the village has the same surname: Po (布).[citation needed]
