When Marco was 17, he accompanied his father and uncle when they returned to China. They spent 17 years in the court ofthe Mongol ruler of China, Kublai Khan. He really liked Marco, first making him a diplomat and then the GOVERNOR of the city of Yangzhou.
Khan liked Marco so much that eventhough the Polos asked to return home, he refused to let them leave.
Luckily, in 1292, the Polos were sent to escort a Mongol princess to Persia. They seized the opportunity, ESCAPED, and returned home after 24 years. Marco wrote a book about his adventures, The Travels of Marco Polo
