Book Description
For more than a century, trams have plied their trade along the shore of Hong Kong Island. They have witnessed the transformation of the city from a colonial backwater to a financial powerhouse. Today, the trams still carry vast numbers of passengers daily, and Hong Kong is one of the few places in the world where you can ride a double-deck tram. Using fascinating photographs, most of which have never been published before, this book is a vivid reminder of how much Hong Kong has changed.
