马可·波罗[1](Marco Polo)[1254年~1324年]，世界著名旅行家和商人。1254年生于意大利威尼斯一个商人家庭，也是“旅行世家”。 他的父亲尼科洛和叔叔马泰奥都是威尼斯商人。据称17岁时，马可·波罗跟随父亲和叔叔前往中国，历时三年多，于1275年到达元朝的首都，与大汗忽必烈建立了友谊。他在中国游历了17年，曾访问当时中国的许多古城，到过西南部的云南和东南地区。回到威尼斯之后，马可·波罗在一次威尼斯和热那亚之间的海战中被俘，在监狱里口述旅行经历，由鲁斯蒂谦写出《马可·波罗游记》但其到底有没有来过中国却引发了争议。《马可·波罗游记》(又名《马可·波罗行纪》、《东方见闻录》)记述了马可·波罗在东方最富有的国家—中国的所见所闻，后来在欧洲广为流传，激起了欧洲人对东方的热烈向往，对以后新航路的开辟产生了巨大的影响。同时，西方地理学家还根据书中的描述，绘制了早期的“世界地图”。 This is Marco’s traveling map.
