Thank you Shadma mam for teaching this to me

Marco Polo was a Venetian merchant, explorer and writer who travelled through Asia along the Silk Road between 1271 and 1295

The Marco Polo Bridge or Lugou Bridge (simplified Chinese: 卢沟桥; traditional Chinese: 盧溝橋; pinyin: Lúgōu Qiáo) is a stone bridge located 15 km southwest of Beijing's city center in the Fengtai District. It bridges the Yongding River, a major tributary of Hai River. Situated at the eastern end of the bridge is the Wanping Fortress, a historic 17th-century fortress, with the Museum of the War of Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression inside.

In recent years, the water of Yongding River has been diverted to different areas of Beijing, so there is often no water under the bridge.

He forged a close connection with the Mongol Emperor, Kublai Khan. Very impressed with Polo's intellect and character, Kublai Khan appointed Marco Polo to his court as a foreign diplomat. Kublai Khan was the founder of China's Yuan Dynasty.
