Only fragments survive of the great geographical work of the Yuan period, the Da Yuan da yitong zhi. Happily, another work of the same type is still extant. Although much less detailed, it is still very useful. The Da Yuan hunyi fangyu shenglan (Overview of the Unified Territories of the Great Yuan) was little known before a modern edition was published in 2003. An important question is the dating of its content. It is argued here that, although not all the content dates from exactly the same period, much of it is from the 1280 s. This makes it exactly contemporary with Marco Polo's time in the Empire of Qubilai Qa'an, so that it is an important source for the study of his account of China. Some account is also given of other relevant Chinese sources.
