香江半島:香港的早期九龍風光

Early Hong Kong's Kowloon Peninsula

This book is the catalogue of the exhibition, "Early Hong Kong’s Kowloon Peninsula". Many people are familiar with the tram services provided on Hong Kong Island, but do not know that in 1897 the Hong Kong government passed a tramway ordinance authorizing the Kowloon Godown to construct a tramway for transporting cargo in Kowloon. In the early 1910s, the Hong Kong Tramways Limited requested permission from the government to establish tramlines in Kowloon but this proposal was finally rejected. This exhibition features photographs focusing on the areas through which the proposed tramways were to be constructed. This includes the parts of Kowloon that were owned by the Colonial Government, such as Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Ma Tei, Ho Man Tin, Mong Kok and Tai Kok Tsui, as well as those owned by the Chinese Government, such as Sham Shui Po, Cheung Sha Wan, Lai Chi Kok, Kowloon Tong, Kowloon City, To Kwa Wan and Hung Hom. Also included in the exhibition are images of then undeveloped areas such as Ngau Chi Wan, Wong Tai Sin, Ngau Tau Kok, Kwun Tong, Lei Yue Mun, and the new town of Tseung Kwan O.
