Bohe Port has a shocking thousand-year history. In BC 1 1 1, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened a sea route from Quanzhou, the Pearl River Estuary and Leizhou Peninsula to South Asia via Southeast Asia, and the Maritime Silk Road was born! Limited by the navigation technology at that time, maritime navigation had to advance along the coast and offshore, and Bohe Port, a natural shelter from the wind, came into being and became the first stop on the Maritime Silk Road.
Bohe was also the most important production place at that time. In the Tang Dynasty, western Guangdong was one of the most developed copper-making areas in China. Dianbai people used copper, iron and wood structures to build large ships, which could sail far. Dianbai became one of the largest sea salt producing areas in China during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Dianbai was one of the main shipbuilding areas in China. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Gaozhou Ship, Guangdong (Guangzhou) Ship, Chaozhou Ship and Hainan Ship made by Bohe were also called the four major ships in Lingnan.
Bohe was also one of the most important military defense institutions along the coast of China at that time. In AD 1394, the imperial court set up a temple guard in Dianzhen, which was responsible for the military security and defense of Dianbai, Yangjiang, Gaozhou, Yangchun, Xinyi, Wuchuan and Huazhou counties. Thousands of soldiers were stationed in the Ming Dynasty, and the number reached 6 1 10 in the early Qing Dynasty. Today's Electrical Appliances City still retains the towers of the Temple Guard (including the Bell and Drum Tower), which is the best preserved site along the coast of Guangdong.
1949- 1950 On the eve of the liberation of Hainan Island, Bohe was an important strategic rear area. The People's Liberation Army and materials are continuously transported from Nanmen Port of Diancheng to Bohe. Bohe fishermen donated fishing boats with patriotic enthusiasm, joined the frontline team for the liberation of Hainan Island, actively assisted the PLA in maritime training, and made immortal contributions to supporting the liberation of Hainan Island.
Since the reform and opening up 40 years ago, seven important indicators such as fishing port area, dock length, number of fishing boats, horsepower per boat, fishery output, total fishery output and port throughput in Bohe Port have been ranked first in the province for 27 consecutive years, and have successively won the titles of Guangdong's largest fishing port, China's top ten fishing ports, national first-class mass fishing port, Guangdong's civilized fishing port, national second-class port and Guangdong's trade point with Taiwan, and became a national fishing port in 2065438.
