Another fascinating truth about Zheng He admiral is that his voyages exposed China to many new things.
The fleet of Zheng He visited various places, including Brunei, Java, Thailand, India, Arabia, and Africa while traveling as far west as that continent. He brought various items from China, including silk, porcelain, gold, and silver, to the area. He returned with supplies for construction, fuel, and unusual items. Giraffes and zebras from Africa were used as ornamental animals in the Chinese imperial garden. With Zheng's fleet, Arab glass workers entered China, and as a result, glass later became a typical Chinese utensil.
