Travels Of Marco Polo: Seventy Seven

Nanghin is a province towards the west, belonging to Manji, and is very noble and rich.  The people are idolaters, and use paper money, and are subject to the great Khan.  They live by merchandise and arts, have silk in abundance, and make clothes of it interwoven with gold in all fashions.  They have an ample supply of every kind of grains and provisions: for the land is very fruitful. There are also lions and animals for hunting.  There are many rich merchants, who carry on much trade, and pay large revenue to the great sire.  But I will now go to the great city of Sayanfu, respecting which I shall have much to say.
