The traveler Wang Dayuan ?discovered? the island sultanate for the Chinese world, and merchants increasingly dealt in Maldivian goods such as coconuts, cowrie shells, and ambergris. Zheng He?s fifteenth-century voyages ventured to the islands, by then a trading hub, and brought their envoys to Beijing.
