Zheng He，the Columbus of the East，was an amazing man.

Between 1405 and 1433，Zheng He led seven sea trips to different parts of the world. He certainly travelled to India，Africa and the Middle East. A few people think his ships may have even reached South America and Australia.

Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed he sailed more than 50，000 km during the years of his travels. With 28，000 men and over 300 ships，such as boats for food，water and even soldiers' horses，Zheng He led a fleet (舰队) whose size would not be equalled by Europeans for over 500 years!

On these trips he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to foreign kings or to sell for local goods. He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and jewellery，foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe.
