Marco Polo is the answer, but he was not the first!. For one of the uncles with whom he travelled it was the second journey!. There had been sporadic contact between West and East at least since the time of Justinian, in the 7th century!. Until some silkworms were smuggled across from China in Justinian's reign all the silk used in Rome came overland from China!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

how couldn't you know that! Marco Polo is the first one to reach vast countries in the east (particularly China) Marco Polo is the first one to travel that far, even before the other persons you mentioned!. see the link if you are still confused!.
