Geography
Po Keng Teng is in the Clear Water Bay Peninsula region. To the west is a golf club.
There are no public roads that lead to the mountain because a private golf club separates it from the nearest public road. The trails to the summit are rather rocky, and not maintained by the government, so proper hiking footwear is advisable. The cliff on its east side is very steep.
