What an adventure!
P1 Starting out
Look at the map, and read the information about the three explorers. Draw the routes of the explorers.
Ferdinand Magellan (1480-1521) was a Portuguese explorer who sailed west from Spain across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in search of a westward route to the Spice Islands (now part of Indonesia).
Vasco da Gama (1460-1524) was a Portuguese explorer and the first European to reach India by sea. His initial journey to India opened up the sea route from Western Europe to the east by way of the Cape of Good Hope.
Christopher Columbus (1451-1506) was an Italian explorer who completed journeys between Spain and the Americas, thus marking the beginning of European exploration of the Americas. He brought native plants such as tomatoes and tobacco back to Spain.

Look at the routes again and talk about who is the most influential explorer in your mind, then
share your reasons to the class.
Xu Xiake (1587—1641), was a Chinese travel writer and geographer of the Ming Dynasty known best for his famous geographical diaries noted for his bravery and humility(谦逊). He traveled throughout China for more than 30 years, documenting his travels which would be compiled into the “The Travel Diaries Xu Xiake”. Xu's writing used narrative and prose(散文)styles of writing to portray one's travel experiences.
Do you know any explorers in Chinese history?
Now let’s watch a video to
learn more about him.
P65 2
Watch the video and answer the questions.
What kind of difficulties did Xu Xiake meet?
Possible answer:
Xu travelled on foot. He often went without food for days, and suffered bad weather, illness, dangerous animals and even robbers.
Xu Xiake
Xu Xiake was known in China as a great explorer, geographer and travel writer. Born in 1587, he loved reading books about geography and nature, and from an early age wished to see the natural wonders of the country.
Xu started to travel at the age of 22, with the encouragement of his mother. As well as exploring famous mountains and rivers, he went to places that had never been visited before. His first journeys lasted only a few months, so that he could return home regularly. But by 1639, about two years before his death, Xu had been travelling for years at a time, covering almost half of modern China.
Video Script
Unlike most travellers these days, Xu travelled the hard way - on foot. He showed great courage during his journeys. He often went without food for days, and suffered bad weather, illness, dangerous animals and even robbers. Despite all these difficulties, his curiosity about the natural world kept him going.
Xu wrote about his discoveries in his travel diaries, which are the earliest records of landscapes in Southern China. Xu's own experiences enabled him to correct several mistakes in earlier books. One of his most important discoveries was that the Jinsha River was the true source of the Yangtze River.
At more than 600,000 words, Xu's diaries are regarded as one of the greatest works in both scientific and literary fields. Translated into modern Chinese, it is amazing to hear the voice of Xu Xiake speaking to us across the centuries about his adventures.

Zheng He (1371–1433) was a Chinese admiral and explorer who led several voyages around the Indian Ocean. Today, Zheng He is considered something of a folk hero, with temples in his honor throughout Southeast Asia.
James Cook (1728 – 1779) was a British explorer who made groundbreaking voyages to the Pacific Ocean. He made the first European contact with Eastern coast of Australia and he chartered the islands of the Pacific from New Zealand to Hawaii.
Roald Amundsen (1872 – 1928) was a Norwegian explorer and a key figure in the heroic age of Antarctic exploration. His Antarctic expedition of 1910-12 discovered the South Pole. In 1926, he led the first successful expedition to reach the North Pole. He also made the first voyage through the Northwest Passage.
