Marco Polo was a Venetian traveller, whose accounts of his journey across the world from Venice to China and back, make one of the greatest books of all his time.
Marco Polo was born either at Venice, or perhaps at Korcula, a place on an island off Dalmatian coast in 1254. His father, Niccolo Polo, and his father's brother, Matteo set out in 1261, on a long trading journey which led them to the court of Kublai, the Great Khan, who ruled over China. After seven years they returned to Italy.
Two years passed before the brothers decided to start again on their travels, and this time, they took with them Niccolo'c son Marco, then 17 years old. They trvelled to Acre and from there rode overland to Hormuz on the Persian Gulf. From there they turned northward and made their way through Persia to Balkh, and Khotan. From there they passed near Lop Nor, crossed the Gobi Desert and entered China by way of Su—chou. At length, in 1275, after a journey lasting three years, they introduced themselves to Kublai Khan at his summer palace at Shangtu.
Marco records that he made rapid progress in the Great Khan's favour. He studied the Mongol language and the emperor asked him to look after the travelling groups made up of foreign visitors from different parts of the world and show them around his kingdom. He became skilful(娴熟)and clever at business. Marco made careful notes of his journey, the state of the cities, the customs (风俗)of the people, and the kinds of crops and other products. After 17 years travelling in the service of the Khan, Marco, together with his father and uncle, returned to Venice. The journey took them 3 years and they arrived in 1295.
