Abstract：Coastal cities and towns are linked by “the Maritime Silk Road” and constitute a geographic network. During Ming and Qing Dynasties, one of the distinctive features of the port cities and towns along “the Maritime Silk Road” in the western coast of Guangdong was that they constituted and were accepted by the unified regional market system with the city clusters in the Pearl River Delta as the center. Many places in this area did not belong to Pearl River Valley and some rivers run into the sea on their own, but that did not change the economic integrity of this region and the Pearl River Delta. It shows during the Ming and Qing Dynasties the city clusters in the Pearl River Delta played a significant role in the regional market system along China’s “Maritime Silk Road”, which provides a historical reference to understanding the important role of current city clusters of that region in China’s regional market system along “the Maritime Silk Road”.
