Sanbao taijian xiyang ji

Sanbao taijian xiyang ji (traditional Chinese: 三寶太監西洋記; simplified Chinese: 三宝太监西洋记), also translated into English as The Eunuch Sanbao's Voyage to the Western Ocean[1] or The Journey of Sanbao the Eunuch to the Western Ocean,[2] is a classic Chinese novel written by Luo Maodeng (羅懋登) in the late 16th-century during the Ming dynasty.

It consist of 100 chapters and is set in the early 15th-century.

The novel is about the voyages of admiral Zheng He.

However, instead of a realistic chronicle of Zheng He's journeys, the novel is a blend of "factual" and "fantastic narrative",[1] full of monsters and supernatural beings, akin in style to the shenmo novels of the same period.
