Overview
Marco described Quinsai (today's Hangzhou) in southeast China as \"the finest and most splendid city in the world.\" He returned there many times during his 17-year stay in China, and his vivid descriptions of the city, its people, and their way of life are among the highlights of his book. \"When travelers return home,\" he wrote, \"they say they have been to Quinsai, that is to say, the City of Heaven, and they can scarcely wait for a chance to return there.\"
