Morco's journey to East in 1271 ad was by any standard remarkable and
by the standards of time utterly fantastic. He remained there for over
sixteen years. These regions were virtually unknown to the west before
he visited them. There was never any man who has ever explored so much
of the world as did by Morco. He had been a lively, curious and
intelligent young man having an acute appreciation of the visual and
superficial beauty of landscapes, cities bustle crowds, people and
liked mixing with and talking to his fellow men. Starting from Venice,
he traversed through Turkey, Persia, Pamirs and finally Xanadu (Shang-
Tu) the great Kublai Khan's summer palace and voyaged back via sea
around Burma, India and reached back in 1295.
