The History of Hong Kong
4000 years ago, Chinese people arrived at Hong Kong and lived in this area。
After the China's first unification, Qin Dynasty, the administration set up a province named "Nan Hai", which ruled the "Pan Yu" county。
Today's Hong Kong is administered by this county at that time。 At the age of South and North Dynasty, a heavy-forced town--"Tuen Mun" was established in today's "Tuen Mun" of New Territories。
In Tang Dynasty, China had closer relations with other countries in the world。 The shopping boats from Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean all have to pass Hong Kong to reach their destination。
In about "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms" 1000 years ago, the administration of "South Han" established customhouse in "Tuen Mun"。
The government of Song Dynasty also set up there a patrolling and checking bureau。 In Yuan Dynasty, however, Hong Kong became a gathering land for pirates。
The pirates were all annihilated and a Kowloon town of XinAn County was set up in Ming Dynasty。
This situation had not changed until the Britain's invasion in 1850s。
At July 1st, 1997, China regained the administrative power of Hong Kong and established Hong Kong Special Administrative District of the People's Republic of China。
Hong Kong has stepped into a new era。
