A year later he and his father and uncle left Venice to see the emperor Kublai Khan. First they sailed to the port of Acre.

Марко Поло — один из самых известных путешественников всех времён. Он родился 15 сентября 1254 года в Венеции в семье богатого купца. Большую часть его детства отец отсутствовал, поэтому Марко жил в доме тёти. Впервые он увидел отца примерно в возрасте пятнадцати лет. Год спустя он вместе с отцом и дядей покинул Венецию, чтобы увидеть императора Хубилай-хана. Сначала они отплыли в порт Акко. Затем они ехали на верблюдах до порта Ормуз, но там корабли оказались непригодны, поэтому они отправились из Персии в Китай по суше. Во время путешествия Марко заболел в Афганистане, и это замедлило их путь, но в конце концов они прибыли во дворец Хубилай-хана. Марко оставался там семнадцать лет, а затем вернулся домой и написал о своих приключениях.
