Marco Polo was born in Venice in 1254. With his father and uncle, who
were businessmen, he travelled to China in 1275. They were the first
Europeans to do this. Marco Polo stayed at the court of the Chinese emperor
for many years, and went as an ambassador for the emperor to Tonkin, Annam,
India and Persia. He went back to Venice in 1295, made rich by his travels.
Polo wrote a book about his experiences, but not many people believe him at
first. He died in 1324.
