Reader comments
Moreover, the book also talks about China's previous ignorance and prejudice against the world, which also reminds us to see more of the outside world. I think this book is a bit similar to "The Travels of Marco Polo", both of which introduce foreign customs and customs. However, "Hai Guo Tu Zhi" is more like a world encyclopedia with richer content. If only I could have read this book sooner!
