On this day 676 years ago, on November 8, 1349 (September 27, 1349 lunar calendar), the greatest traveler of Arabia, Batuta, returned to his hometown. On the right is Ibn Battuta Ibn Battuta (also translated as Battuta, born in 1304) was one of the greatest travelers of the Middle Ages. As a young man, he received a good education in law and literature, and also received professional training as a judge. However, when he was 21 years old, a pilgrimage to Mecca made him change his original intention. Places of interest, customs, people... A place is like a place, so colorful that he was unwilling to go home and began his tourist life from then on. The place where Batuta began to travel is mainly the Arab world. Because traveling in these regions, there are no language barriers, customs and customs are quite close, and it is easy to obtain convenient accommodation and board. However, as he broadened his horizons during his travels, the attraction of strange customs and customs in various places made him more and more eager to see more new regions. In 1326, he crossed the Arabian desert and came to the city of Basra on the Persian Gulf. In 1330, he set off in a small boat from the port of Jeddah near Mecca and followed the coast of the Red Sea to Yemen. Soon, he followed the coast of East Africa to Somalia, Kenya, and Tanzania. In 1332, he set out from southern Iran and took a boat across the Persian Gulf to Bahrain. Soon, he set out from Syria to Asia Minor, bypassed the Sea of Azov into the North Caucasus, and finally reached India. Batuta's journey at that time had already gone quite far, but he was not satisfied with it. In 1342, he set off from Delhi, India, and traveled through the islands of Ceylon and Maldives, passing through the Nicobar Islands, Sumatra, Siam, and Sulu Islands. Finally, he landed in Quanzhou and landed in China. He traveled all the way from Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Jianchang, Poyang, Hangzhou, and went straight to Beijing. Batuta was a great traveler. He encountered many difficulties and obstacles along the way, but they were all overcome by his firm will. He also encountered many unheard of strange things on the way, and he wrote them all down. His book "The Travels of Ibn Batuta" is of great interest to this day because of the collection of so many new things. In fact, Batutta's greatest contribution is that he wrote down the local history at that time, providing us with a lot of real information for understanding the past history today. Batutta finally returned to his hometown on November 8, 1349 after 25 years of hardship. When he told people about his experience, it aroused great interest. The writing of his travelogue began at this time. The next few years were when he continued to travel and at the same time asked people to write travelogues by oral.
