The Venetian who explored China was Marco Polo, a merchant and traveler from Venice. He is best known for his extensive travels to Asia in the late 13th century, where he spent many years in the court of Kublai Khan, the Mongol ruler. His experiences were documented in "The Travels of Marco Polo," which introduced Europeans to the wealth and wonders of the East and significantly influenced European exploration. Polo's accounts sparked curiosity and interest in trade with Asia, laying the groundwork for future explorers.
