The ships(wbee) krneowknn oaswn as treasure ships. They were big enough to carry 25,000 people as well as very large quantities of goods.
From 1405 to 1433, Zheng He went on seven trips and visited South-East Asia, the Middle East and even the east coast of Africa. It seemed that nowhere was too far for him to visit.

Besides developing trade, the voyages also encouraged the exchange of cultures and technologies. They helped the development of those countries and regions.
