[quote=AZIZAH,330686]Ibn Battutah (1304-1368) in his Travelogue (Rihla) probably like Marco Polo (1254-1324), only managed to visit the southern provinces of China, namely Khanfu (Guangzhou as knowned by the Arabs) and Quanzhou (Fujian), that is why Marco Polo nor Ibn Battutah ever mentioned the Great Wall of China. In his journey Ibn Battuttah did mention Marco Polo. The Arabs were in Guangzhou as early as 650 where a mosque named Huaisheng was established. Thus, probably coffee was already in China earlier than 1600.[/quote]
