While he was there, Marco Polo worked for Kublai Khan, the emperor of China. He was able to learn and experience many things that were new to Europeans. In his diary, he wrote, Kublai Khan39。s palace is the greatest I39。ve ever seen. The streets of the new capital, Dadu, are so straight and so wide. Paper money also took him by surprise, since it was not yet in use in the West at that time. Homes were heated with black stones… which burn like wood.
