In the sixth month of the fifth year of the Jiayou reign of the Northern Song, the New Book of Tang was completed; its Treatise on Geography states that 200 li by water southeast of Guangzhou reaches Tuen Mun Mountain, the first appearance of a Hong Kong place name in official histories.
In 1089, Jiang Zhiqi, prefect of Guangzhou, wrote "A Brief Record of Bei Du Mountain", which recounts the legend of the Zen master Bei Du coming south during the Yuanjia era of the Liu Song and explains the origin of the mountain's name.
From the eighth to the tenth month of that year in the Southern Song, Qian Zhiwang served as Prefect of Guangzhou; afterwards the authorities dispatched the Cuifeng naval force from Yanxiang Fort in Fuzhou to the area to carry out suppression, and the island's residents suffered heavy casualties, with the situation only stabilising in the tenth month.
Between July and August of the 3rd year of the Qingyuan reign (1197) of the Southern Song, Xu Anguo, the Guangdong tea and salt commissioner, sent men to Tai Hai Shan to suppress private salt, and the deputy commander Gao Deng was detained by local residents, who elected him leader and rose in revolt, once attacking as far as the walls of Guangzhou.
In May 1278 (the first year of the Xiangxing reign of the Southern Song), Gangzhou was upgraded to Xianglong County; in June of the same year, Guangzhou was upgraded to Xianglong Prefecture.
During the Yuan dynasty, a lu was established at Guangzhou, governing seven counties—Nanhai, Panyu, Dongguan, Zengcheng, Xiangshan, Xinhui and Qingyuan—with the lu seat at Nanhai County and Panyu County.
In 1304, the Yuan court established the Tuen Mun Inspection Office within present-day Hong Kong, under the Dongguan County of the Guangzhou Lu General Administration, staffed with one inspector and 150 garrison soldiers, with its seat at Tuen Mun Fort.
From January to February 1318, the Yuan court re-established the Guangzhou Gold and Pearl Collection Superintendency to manage the Guangzhou pearl pools, with Dabu Sea (present-day Tai Po Hoi) as its core production area.
He Zhen, the Yuan dynasty Left Vice Minister of the Jiangxi Provincial Administration Commission, surrendered to the Ming dynasty in the second month of the same year, when he held sway over the Dongguan and Huizhou areas; the Ming subsequently changed Guangzhou Lu to Guangzhou Fu.
In the Ming dynasty, Guangzhou Prefecture administered one zhou and fifteen counties, and the Hong Kong area came under the governance of Dongguan County of that prefecture.
