Italian traveler Odorique has died.

The Odyssey Record.
On January 14, 1331 the Italian traveler Odoricus died, a monk of the Catholic Church of St. Francis, who was a famous traveler who came to China after Marco Polo.
Born in the small Italian Principality of Pordenone, Pordenone soon entered the Church of St. Francis, and worshiped in the Church of Udinese. He wore barefoot, wore brown clothes all year, with bread and white water, and wished to be a bitter monk. He was a famous traveller of the Middle Ages, and began his Eastern journey from Venice in about 1314. Through Constantinople, Travisone, Elzren, Big Buri, Sun Denim, Kazan, Yetz, Century Bori, Sheraton, Baghdad and other countries, he went to China through Guangzhou, Fujian, Ming, Hangzhou, Xinjiang, Yangtze, Beijing, and traveled back to Tibet.
He travelled from Constantinople to Trabzon, on the shore of the Black Sea, and then to Elzren, the Great Brisbane, and Sun Denis. Prior to 1322, he was supposed to perform his ministry in these cities. Then he went to Kazan and Yetz, and transferred to Hundred Bori, via Sira, to Baghdad. After leaving Baghdad, he went to the Persian Gulf, on a boat at Olmuz, and to the island of Sartre. A few years ago, several religious members were killed here, and Odorike collected the remains and packed in luggage, and continued his journey to the east. He travelled to Malaba, arrived in Padana, Greece, and so on; and to Sartre, and Malap, where he taught the altar
About 1322 before the northern temple, Odorick landed in Guangzhou, and was immediately amazed by Guangzhou's density of population, prosperity and the many ships in the port. In his memoirs he mentioned: "A city three times larger than Venice, and all Italy has no more ships than this city." He was also amazed by the abundance of the gods worshipped there. Then he went to the world-famous Port of Fukushima (Hangzhou), where he was greeted with enthusiasm by the clergy of St. Francis, which allowed him to praise the cathedrals and monasteries between the two lakes built by his brothers and sisters of Francis. The abundance of the temple impressed him. After he passed through the famous Port of Fukushima (

China’s advanced railway station system also impressed Odorick. ‘A messenger rides a fast horse, or a runaway camel. When they approach the railway stations, the horn blows, indicating that they are coming. After the railway station master hears the horn, let another messenger ride a new railway, and after receiving the letter, he runs to the next station, and so down, so that Dang Khan can get the news of the distant area within 24 hours, which is estimated to take three days to ride.’
In 1328 Odorike left the major city and returned to the country. Through Tianjin (now Riverside), Shaanxi, Gansu to Tibet, then through Central Asia, Persia, Arabia, and so on, in 1330 he returned to Padua, Italy. After returning to Italy, he spoke of his visions of missionary experiences and was recorded by others as the Odorike Journals. The following year, the great missionary and traveler died at the Udinese monastery.
The four great travellers of the Middle Ages, Marco Polo, Ibn Battute, and Niccolo Conti, were known together as the four great travellers of the Middle Ages. The writings of the "Ortodox Logos" spread widely in Europe, and made great contributions to the exchange of Middle and Western cultures. The International Geographic Society was founded in Venice in 1881 to establish a bronze statue for him, expressing his admiration.
