Kublai Khon, the Emperor of China, met the visitors at his Summer
Palace in the capital of China at Xanadu. The palace was very
beautiful. There were a lot of gold things and silk curtains. The
Emperor gave a big banquet. There were more than a thousand people
in the palace. On the emperor's birthday 5,000 soldiers rode through
the city to the palace on elephants. Marco Polo visited some huge
markets, where merchanis (kymu, торrовы) from all over the world
bought and sold all kinds of things. He was happy to see one of the
