Gongbei is located in the southeast of Zhuhai, adjacent to Macao and connected with Macao by land. Here is a special geographical location, which is the intersection of "one country, two systems" and the most prosperous urban area in Zhuhai. 65438+In the 1980s of 2009, the Qing government set up the General Administration of Customs in Paotai Mountain. At that time, there was an iconic arch bridge (now along the Bay Road) and a famous place-Beiling, hence the name Gongbeiguan. At that time, people advocated Confucianism. The Analects of Confucius said: "The virtue of politics is like Beichen, living in its place, and the stars arch it." The ancients used the celestial phenomenon of "the stars arch around Beichen" to explain the essence of rule by virtue. The word "Gongbei" is quite consistent with this, so the area where the customs are located is collectively called Gongbei, which has been used ever since. Now Gongbei is under the jurisdiction of Gongbei Sub-district Office, an agency dispatched by Xiangzhou District People's Government of Zhuhai City, with an area of 10 square kilometer, under the jurisdiction of 17 community neighborhood committees and a permanent population of 17 people.

The place names in Gongbei have changed several times. According to the historical documents such as A Brief History of Macau, Guangdong Customs Records, and Xiangshan County Records, the origin of China's customs establishment in Macau can be traced back to the 14th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1535). In the 27th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (1688), the general port of Guangdong Customs in Macau was located at Marco Pier (formerly under the jurisdiction of Xiangshan County). This is the first trading port in Xiangshan County. After Portugal occupied Macao, the General Administration of Customs of Guangdong withdrew from Macao in February (1March 887) of Guangxu 13th year, and established Gongbei Pass on March 9th of the same year (1April 2nd 887). The Customs is located in Ma Xiaoyi Island in Gongbei Bay (now Wanzai Sub-district Office in Xiangzhou District, Zhuhai City). Mayizhou, located in the Macau Waterway southwest of Yizhou Island in Gongbei Bay; Qianshan, located outside Qianshan Village, with barges as berths; Dongao, located in Wanshan Dongao Bay; Guanzha, located in Guanzha Village (now Gongbei Sub-district Office, Xiangzhou District, Zhuhai); Shijiao, located in Wan Chai, across the sea from Macau; Haotian is located in Haotianzai Village. In the 23rd year of Guangxu (1897), Tanzhou and Hengmen (now Zhongshan) were added. Due to little effect, Mangzhou was immediately closed. Hengmen is located in Yangguanwei, Dongli Village, Zhangjiabian Township, and is mainly navigable to Hong Kong. In Xuantongyuan year (1909), Xiangzhou was set as a port, which was closed in the same year due to insufficient funds.
