New Compilation of Ancient History of Hong Kong

Professor Siu Kwok-kin, a renowned scholar in Hong Kong's historical culture, presents a comprehensive exploration of ancient Hong Kong's history in this book. From its origins as a settlement inhabited by indigenous people engaged in fishing, woodcutting, farming, and hunting, to the influx of migrants during the Tang and Song dynasties, the area thrived with salt production and incense planting industries. However, during the early Qing Dynasty, the residents were relocated to the mainland, leaving the region abandoned. Through meticulous research, Professor Siu delves into the forgotten culture and relics of ancient Hong Kong, covering its history, politics, economy, and cultural remnants from ancient times to the mid-Qing Dynasty.
