In 1298 AD, Ghāzān khan, ruler of the Ilkhanate, dispatched Fakhr al-Dīn Aḥmad al-Ṭībī as his ambassador to the Yuan Empire with a merchant fleet. The onward route of this missionary coincided with the return route of Marco Polo, and as the ortoq of Mongol khan, the status and experience of them were similar. However, compared with Marco Polo, Fakhr al-Dīn played a more important role, and the experience during his trip was more marvelous. Based on the narratives of the Tārīkh-i Waṣṣāf and other contemporary documents, the current article tries to investigate Fakhr al-Dīn’s mission with following focuses: the rise of the al-Ṭībī family; the reconsideration of Fakhr al-Dīn’s trip; and Waṣṣāf’s record of Fakhr al-Dīn’s experience in China, especially the concrete scene about the later period of Temür’s reign
