Marco Polo in China is about the famous Italian Marco Polo, who came a
long way to China in the 13th century and spent 17 years travelling, doing
surveys and managing local affairs in China. After he went back to Italy, he made
an oral narrative of his travels, which was The
Travels of Marco Polo, the first book that introduced the East to the
Westerners. The travelogue whetted the Europeans’ appetite for the East and
exerted a huge influence on the opening of the new route. The adventures of
Marco Polo are legendary and compelling.
