Zhuhai

According to legends and the antiques unearthed, 4,000-5,000 years ago up to the Neolithic Age, there had been inhabitants living and multiplying on the land of Zhuhai. In the year of 757 (the second year of the reign of Zhide in Tang Dynasty), under the jurisdiction of Dongguan, Xiangshan Town was established. In 1152 (the 22 nd year of the reign of Shaoxing in song Dynasty), the four coastal counties: Nanhai, Panyu, Xinhui and Dongguan were incorporated into Xiangshan County. Later in 1953, Wanshan Islands, Sanzao Island and Dong'an Islands of Zhongshan and Bao'an County (present Shenzhen) were put under the administration of Xiangshan County, changing the name into Zhuhai simultaneously. In 1979, the name Zhuhai City was instead of Zhuhai County. In 1980, Zhuhai Special Economic Zone was founded
