In the Yuan Dynasty, it was also famous for producing pearls. From July, 842 to April, 898, China Qing government signed a treaty with Britain, and Shenzhen and Hong Kong were divided from then on.

Although the development history of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone is only more than 30 years, it has a history of human activities of more than 6,700 years (indigenous people lived in Shenzhen in the middle of Neolithic Age), a history of counties and counties of 1700 years, a history of Nantou City of more than 600 years, a history of Dapeng City of more than 300 years, and a history of Hakka immigration.

In the pre-Qin period, Guangdong belonged to South Vietnam. Shenzhen is the foothold for South Vietnamese tribes to explore the ocean. The Nanyue tribe living in the coastal dune valley area of Shenzhen makes a living by fishing and sailing, and rarely cultivates.

The earliest predecessor of Shenzhen was Baoan County, and the establishment of Baoan County began in 33 1 year (the sixth year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty). Dongguan county, located in six counties under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, probably covers Shenzhen, Dongguan and Hong Kong. The county is in Baoan County (Nantou).

Shenzhen, an important hub of southern maritime trade in Song Dynasty, belongs to Xiangshan County, Guangzhou. Rich in salt and spices. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was also famous for producing pearls.

The predecessor of Shenzhen used to be Xin 'an County. In A.D. 1573, the Ming government of China expanded the garrison base of thousands of households in Dongguan, established Xin 'an County, and built a county to govern Nantou, covering the present Shenzhen and Hong Kong. The economy is dominated by salt, tea, spices and rice.

A.D. 1394 (twenty-seven years of Ming Hongwu), Dongguan Garrison Thousand Houses and Dapeng Garrison Thousand Houses were established in today's Shenzhen. The ancient city of Nantou, with a history of more than 600 years, was the political center of Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macao before the end of Qing Dynasty.

During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Nantou fell, and the Baoan county government temporarily moved to Dongguan county. 1953, because Shenzhen is connected with the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway, with a large population and prosperous industry and commerce, Zhidong in Baoan County moved to the Shenzhen market, which is 0/0 km away from Nantou/kloc.

After the reform and opening up, Baoan County was abolished and Shenzhen City was established. Shenzhen is one of the earliest coastal cities in China, one of the four central cities in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and one of the three financial centers in China.
