Marco Polo was born in Italy in 1254。When he was 17,he travelled across Europe and Asia along the Silk Road with his father,who wanted to do trade with the Chinese。Finally they arrived in Beijing。
Marco was amazed by how beautiful and powerful China was。He was impressed by Beijing and the Emperor’s Palace,especially the Summer Palace。
There were inventions and developments in China which couldn’t be found in Europe at that time。Marco was surprised to see Chinese people using paper money in the markets。InEurope,people paid for goods with gold or silver!He was also puzzled by the black stones people used to burn to produce heat。The black stones were coal,but Marco had never seen coal before!
In 1291,after 17 years of service to the Emperor,Marco returned to Italy。A writer wrote down all the stories that Marco told him in a book called TheDescriptionoftheWorld,which became one of the best-selling books in Europe。
Although people enjoyed reading the book,many of them thought that Marco’s stories about China were too fantastic to be true。Just before he died,aged 70,Marco was asked the question,“Was it all true?” And this was his answer,“I have only told a half of what I saw!”
