1514 · 屯門 · 明正德九年
1514 年,葡萄牙探險家歐維士率兩艘船由滿剌加(今馬六甲)啟航抵屯門,豎立刻有葡萄牙國徽的石碑以示佔領,並要求與中國通商;此後七年,葡人掌控屯門及葵涌海澳。
In 1514, the Portuguese explorer Jorge Álvares set sail from Malacca (present-day Malacca) with two ships and arrived at Tuen Mun, erecting a stone monument bearing the Portuguese coat of arms to signify occupation and demanding trade with China; over the following seven years, the Portuguese controlled the coastal waters of Tuen Mun and Kwai Chung.
