Is it better to convert (rate wise) them both here in Hong Kong, or do back in the US at my bank?

I'm a member of Wells Fargo Private Bank, so while that wont matter rate-wise, not worried about them not wanting to convert for me.

You need to do it in china or HKG, at least for RMB. I don't believe it's "convertible" outside of china or HKG.
