Lucky 8
This month�s Lucky 8 travelling tips come from Michael Zhang- Advertising Sales Manager, Webjet who is pictured second from the right at Aberdeen Fishing Village in Hong Kong.
1.'When in Hong Kong...'- what is your must-do local experience?  A visit to the Peak is a must! What more can I say, this is the number 1 attraction in Hong Kong. Not to mention from the top of the Peak you can overlook all of Hong Kong. Truly breathtaking!  My advice - definitely take the tram up to the Peak , the journey to the top is a must do itself.
