Did Marco Polo Go to China?
Did Marco Polo Go to China? is a 1995 book by Frances Wood, arguing that Venetian explorer Marco Polo never visited China as told, but travelled no further than Persia, basing his description of China on accounts from Persian travelers. The book takes notice of deficient detail in Polo's stories (for example, he does not mention the Great Wall, the use of chopsticks as eating utensils, tea, foot-binding, Chinese calligraphy or other significant features), and of the lack of Chinese records of Polo's presence.
