Jib Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I'm spending a little time in Hong Kong and spent a day at the Hong Kong museum of history. They had a nice section on the Qing (Manchu) dynasty. It was stated that during this dynasty piracy reached and all time high. So vicious that the Qing depopulated the shore regions to avid shore raids. http://hk.history.museum They also had a full size (although small) junk in a section on the the ethnic and cultural groups of HK!
