	'''Africa''' was the last frontier with which Chinese of the imperial period came into direct contact, owing to its geographical remoteness at the limits of what was then the known navigational world. Moreover, in contrast to its actual size, the “Africa” with which these Chinese travelers initially familiarized themselves was itself of fairly limited expanse, being no more than the littoral regions mainly north of the equator that form the East African coastline, the seaward-rimming lands that bound the Indian Ocean—then called by Chinese the “Western Sea” (Xiyang 西洋)—and that together form the most northerly portion of its westernmost bank. From the time that Chinese knowledge of it as a place was first acquired, no region represented more of an extreme to reach than did Africa. Consequently, even after they made actual landfall there, the Chinese would penetrate few other foreign territories with which they had dealings as tentatively and shallowly as those of Africa.
