The Portuguese explorers reached the port of Canton (now Guangzhou) in China by sea in 1517. This marked the beginning of direct maritime trade between Europe and China, significantly enhancing cultural and economic exchanges. The Portuguese established a trade route that allowed them to engage with Chinese merchants and facilitate the exchange of goods.
The Portuguese were the first European traders to reach China due to their early maritime exploration and advancements in navigation technology during the Age of Discovery. They sought new trade routes to access valuable goods like spices, silk, and tea, which were highly sought after in Europe. Their arrival in the early 16th century, particularly with the establishment of Macao as a trading post, allowed them to capitalize on China's lucrative trade opportunities before other European powers.
