From Kailuka, Ibn passed into the Chinese provinces, and went first to the splendid town of Zaitem, probably the present Tsieun-tcheou of the Chinese, a little to the north of Nankin.
In the meanwhile, disturbances had occurred at Zaitem, which obliged Ibn to leave this town, so he set sail for Sumatra, and then after touching at Calicut and Ormuz, he returned to Mecca in 1348, having made the tour of Persia and Syria.
We will follow him in his voyage and give his description of the places that he visited in this hitherto little known portion of the globe. It must have been about 1291 or 1292 that the fleet left the port of Zaitem, under the command of Marco Polo.
