Shenzhen is located on the coast of South China Sea in China, with coconut trees, fine waves and white sand, and pleasant scenery. It has always been regarded as "the south gate of China, the scenic spot of the company". Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Shenzhen has always played an important role in politics, culture, economy, transportation and coastal defense. Archaeological data prove that as early as 56,000 years ago in the Neolithic Age, human beings worked, lived and multiplied in this beautiful and rich land of Shenzhen.
Since the Qin Dynasty, more than 100 ethnic residents in Shenzhen have been under the feudal centralized rule. China people once set up officials in Shenzhen, and found Han tombs in Xixiang, Shajing, Dapeng Bird and Hongzhengwu Village in the four townships at the southern end. Judging from the literature and archaeological discoveries, the Central Plains culture was integrated at that time.
During the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties for more than 250 years, it was the prosperous eastern part of Shenzhen, with six counties, including Guanxian, Lingbao, Ning and Ningxing, covering the Pearl River Delta and Huiyang. At that time, Baoan was probably under the jurisdiction of today's Dongguan, Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
In the Tang Dynasty, Shenzhen waters became an important place for sea route transportation. Located in the storage town at the end of the south of the city, there are Lingnan soldiers; Since the Song Dynasty, Shenzhen has become the hub of South China's maritime transportation and trade, and has made great economic development.
In the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1394), Dongguan Shouqianhu City and Dapeng Bird Shouqianhu City were built at the southern end of Shenzhen's historical revival period. Later, a stronghold was set up at the southern end, forming a large military institution, which was "Humen's external protection and the provincial capital's resistance to dwarf crowns, pirates and all foreign invaders". Ming 16 (152 1 year), soldiers and civilians at the southern end patrolled under the leadership of Wang Hong, and wiped out the Portuguese fleet in the southern waters.
The number of residents in Xin 'an County who have settled in Lin 'an has reached 225,979. The population has greatly increased, and agricultural production, fishery and salt industry have been greatly developed.
In the second year of the southern tip of the Republic of China (19 13), Xin' an county resumed security, and its administrative office was still located in the city. At the stage when the old democratic revolution began with the new democratic revolution, the people of Shenzhen wrote an inspiring chapter for national liberation. In particular, the anti-Japanese guerrilla troops stationed in Dongjiang were active in Huidong and Baodi areas, maliciously attacking Japanese invaders and escorting cultural figures stranded in Hong Kong to the liberated areas, which made great contributions to the cultural construction in China.
Shenzhen has a long history and developed culture, so it is rich in cultural relics and numerous scenic spots, such as "Jin Nian Sui Yuan" Temple in Jin and Sui Dynasties, Haiguang Temple and Lingdu Temple in Tang Dynasty, Tianhou Palace in Chibi in Southern Song Dynasty, "Eight Scenes of Xin 'an" in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and Gushan, Longqiao and Qiniang Mountain.
In the1980s, after Shenzhen was designated as the first special economic zone in China, the tourism industry developed extremely rapidly, and the newly-built scenic spots and facilities were unique and famous at home and abroad for their novelty, uniqueness and different styles.
