700 years ago, the Italian traveler Marco Polo passed away, leaving behind The Travels of Marco Polo, which sparked the first "China craze" in Western history.

The Travels of Marco Polo reached Sichuan and Tibet in the west, Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the east, as well as Yunnan and Fujian in the south. It recorded the customs, folk cultures, and natural landscapes of more than fifty cities, which depicted an Eastern world with the vigorous development of commercial trade, the diverse range of goods in transit, the peaceful and prosperous life of people, and the exquisite craftsmanship of architecture.

This book not only opened a mysterious door to the other end of the world for Europe, but also attracted generations of envoys from both East and West to bravely follow.
