At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Min and others fled to Kowloon Peninsula. However, the name Tseung Kwan O was published in the Ming Dynasty, which can prove that there used to be villages here.
Many people think that this bay was frequented by smuggling boats in the Qing Dynasty, so the court sent a general to guard this area and crack down on smuggling activities, hence the name "Tseung Kwan O".
In the Ming Dynasty, a general failed to go to the present Tseung Kwan O site and died of serious injuries. In order to commemorate this general, later generations buried him on the spot and named the burial place "Tseung Kwan O" as a memorial.
The pronunciation of "General" is similar to the English word "Junk". At that time, the names of many places in Hong Kong were transliterated from English into Chinese, so "Junk Bay" was translated from English. However, since the place name of Tseung Kwan O appeared in the Ming Dynasty, it is still inconclusive whether Tseung Kwan O evolved from "Tseung Kwan O".
