Travels Of Marco Polo: Seventy Five

Tingui is a pretty agreeable city, a full day's journey from Chaym.  The people are idolaters subject to Khan, and use paper money; they have merchandise and arts, and numerous ships belonging to them. It lies to the southeast, and on the left, nearly three days journey to the eastward in the ocean where salt is made in great quantities.  Here is a city named Cyngui, large, rich and noble to which all salt is brought, and Khan draws from it a revenue so wonderful that it could not be believed.
