Central's Peak Tram Mystery

Your best bet for authentic Hong Kong vibes is to ditch the Peak area entirely and explore some of the smaller islands or neighbourhoods like Sheung Wan – tons of amazing, smaller eateries tucked away there, way less touristy.

You'll look less like a homeless person trying to stage a coup.

Ha! Your grandma sounds amazing. A whole day! Dedication. I was thinking more along the lines of "mildly uncomfortable" than "Arctic expedition," but a fleece is probably a smart call. Less "preparing for the apocalypse" and more "prepared for a slightly chilly wait." Thanks for the tip!
