Starting from the beginning of the 15th Century, he traveled to the West seven times. 
For 28 years, he traveled more than 50,000km and visited over 30 countries, including 
Singapore. Zheng He died in the tenth year of the reign of the Ming emperor Xuande 
(1435) and was buried in the southern outskirts of Bull's Head Hill (Niushou) in Nanjing.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.chinapage.com/zhenghe.html">Columbus sailed to America in St. Maria (eighty-five feet) in 1492. <B>Zheng He</B>
