Zheng He Park in Yunnan
The Kunyang Town of Southeast China's Yunnan Province is the birthplace of Zheng He.
Zhenghe's Tomb
Zheng He died on his way back from his seventh voyage, and was buried in suburban Nanjing.
"Treasure Ship" Park
The park reproduces Nanjing's prosperous ship-making industry and the sailers' life during the Zheng He era.
Nanjing Zheng He Tour Routes
Tourists to Nanjing can now choose one of the three "Zheng He Routes" to trace the navigator's footsteps.
Speak of the world's first navigators and the names Christopher Columbus or Vasco da Gama flash through a Western mind. Little known are the remarkable feats that a Chinese Muslim Zheng He (Cheng Ho) (1371-1433) had accomplished decades before the two European adventurers.
