>Gan Ying was a Chinese diplomat, explorer, and military official who was sent on a mission to the Roman Empire to find out more about it in 97 CE.
>Gan Ying did not reach Rome, only traveling to as far as the "western sea". Becoming discouraged by local sailors' stories of bad weather, he gave up and went home.[1]
>Gan Ying also gave the following description of Roman customs and natural products:
>"Their kings are not permanent. They select and appoint the most worthy man. If there are unexpected calamities in the kingdom, such as frequent extraordinary winds or rains, he is unceremoniously rejected and replaced. The one who has been dismissed quietly accepts his demotion, and is not angry. The people of this country are all tall and honest. They resemble the people of the Middle Kingdom and that is why this kingdom is called Da Qin [or 'Great China']."
