1.'When in Hong Kong...'- what is your must-do local experience? 
A visit to the Peak is top of my list.  The view from the top is amazing and it’s a great way to see the city and harbour.  There are many nature walks at the Peak too which will be on my to do list for my next visit.  Of course the only way to get there is by the Peak Tram – it’s a real experience and the tramline is over 120 years old.
