Show transcript
Zheng He and other Chinese sailors were able to navigate across large distances because of various things they used.
The Chinese used strong ships called junks with many large sails.
These ships had a rudder, which allowed the Chinese to steer them without oars, which was easier.
The Chinese were the first seafarers to use a compass, which made navigation more simple and reliable.
