During the Ming Xuande years, under the strict implementation of the "sea ban" policy, Yuegang was gradually replaced by Quanzhou as the only legitimate private overseas trade port for the people due to its remote location, slack management and convenient transportation, and opened a foreign city. Until Ming Chongxuan six years (1633), the closure of the port city in January marked the completion of China's maritime Silk Road Kaihang Lane to complete its historical mission, which is a pity, otherwise it is estimated that it will be parallel to Xiamen Port.

Due to the bustling of Yuegang, the East Ocean Cockroaches coveted three feet, and repeated invasions, European colonists also took the Yuyu as their stronghold, secretly trading with smugglers, and armed looting, endangering the tranquility of China's southeast sea border. After the Ming Dynasty rulers protested against the name of Qi Jiguang, Qi Jiguang cleared the city, and set up Haicheng County in Longqing's first year (1567), which means "Haijiang clarification." Ten years of Wanli (1582), in order to defend the southeast sea Xinjiang, as the need to look at sea defense and practice martial arts, then Zhixian, in the northeast corner of the county, built a two-story observation deck, "to the Northeast of Haikou" to store "boping seagulls" desire, named the sea building, formerly a two-story brick and wooden structure, Anba Dazhu, which is made of eight corners, is like gossip, and is also known as gossip building. The ground floor of the building has multiple gun eyes for shooting the enemy of the invasion, and a secret road is opened directly to the county (now the party school canteen of the municipal committee) to direct contact and exchange information.
