Marco Polo and His Book
One of the most famous Europeans to travel the Silk Road was Marco Polo. In the book The Travels of Marco Polo, he wrote about his travels along the Silk Road in Asia, especially in China.
Marco Polo’s father and uncle were successful Silk Road merchants(商人). They took Marco on their journey to the East in 1271 when he was a teenager. The Polos took a land route across Asia and stayed in China for about 17 years during the Yuan Dynasty.
