Zheng He

His first voyage started in Yongle three years (1405), and the last voyage ended in Xuande eight years (1433), totaling seven times. His voyage to the west is the largest and longest sailing voyage in China in ancient times.
Activity 4 Introduction: Guess who he is.
Great journeys not only start on the seas. The vast and mysterious land always appeals to those with willing hearts too, even though there was no modern transport at all.
450 years ago, there was a well-known geographer, traveler, and writer who is well known for his book of travels, which covers a wide range of China's topography(地志), scenic areas, and geography. He visited 19 provinces and cities as the father of Chinese backpacking. Several of the routes he traveled 400 years
ago are still in use today.
