وصل الإسلام هذه المنطقة مبكراً ، فقد وصل التجار العرب إلى جنوب شرقي الصين في وقت مبكر ، ففي القرن الهجري الأول وصلت السفارات الإسلامية إلى كانتون المجاورة لهونج كونج، وتوالت هجرة المسلمين إلى المنطقة ، فهاجر إليها مسلمون من جزر الهند الشرقية ومن الملايو، ولايمكن فصل تاريخ الإسلام في جنوب الصين عن تاريخه في منطقة هونگ كونگ، التي كانت ملجأ للمسلمين الصينين، في حالة اندلاع الانتفاضات داخل الصين، وهاجر إليها كثير من المسلمين إبان الثورة الشيوعية بالصين، ولم تغلق الحدود بينها وبين الصين الشعبية إلا سنة 1950. إلى غير ذلك وصلها المسلمون عن طريق الهجرة من المناطق المجاورة لها. وعدد المسلمين حوالي 25 ألف نسمة.
