The book investigates the historical proposal and potential development of tramways in Kowloon, Hong Kong, contrasting it with the established tram system on Hong Kong Island. The author, 鄭寶鴻, presents this work as a catalogue for the exhibition "Early Hong Kong’s Kowloon Peninsula," focusing on photographic evidence of areas where proposed tramlines would have been constructed. The narrative explores the government's rejection of Hong Kong Tramways Limited's early 1910s proposal, despite an earlier ordinance authorizing cargo tramways in 1897. It details the specific regions of Kowloon, both government-owned and Chinese-government-owned, as well as undeveloped areas, that were central to this historical transportation plan.

This exhibition catalogue offers a specialized look into a lesser-known aspect of Hong Kong's transportation history. The focus on photographic evidence suggests a visually rich presentation of the proposed tramway routes and the surrounding urban landscape of early Kowloon. The detailed listing of areas covered indicates a comprehensive approach to documenting the historical context of the proposed development. The work likely appeals to historians, urban planners, and those interested in the specific development of Hong Kong.
