Marco Polo is from Venice. He went on an expedition with his father and uncle to Xanadu (where Kublai's summer palace was located) to meet Kublai Khan. He came home after seventeen yrs. During his travels, he went to Cambulac (present day Beijing) where Kublai's winter palace was located. He traveled to many different places and also worked as a tax inspector for the Great Khan.
