1563 · 廣東 · 明嘉靖四十二年
1563年，福建巡撫譚綸與總兵戚繼光共同向明廷呈遞奏章，要求恢復水寨舊制；此後廣東地區共設六座水師寨，其中位於今日香港境內的佛堂門、龍船灣、大澳和浪淘灣四處汛地，歸南頭寨管轄，每處汛地駐守兵員逾二百名。
In 1563, the Fujian Grand Coordinator Tan Lun and the Regional Commander Qi Jiguang jointly submitted a memorial to the Ming court requesting the restoration of the old naval station system; thereafter Guangdong established six naval stations, of which the four garrisons at Fat Tong Mun, Lung Shuen Wan, Tai O and Long To Wan within present-day Hong Kong territory came under the jurisdiction of Nantou Station, each garrison being manned by more than two hundred soldiers.
