Ibn Batuta went to China as the envoy of Sultan Muhammad bin Tughluq.

The famous Moroccan traveller Ibn Batuta visited India during the reign of Muhammad bin Tughluq (1325-1351). He spent several years in the Sultanate, serving as a qazi (judge) in Delhi. In 1341, Muhammad bin Tughluq appointed him as his ambassador to the Mongol court in China.

Ibn Batuta’s journey to China as the Sultan’s envoy was fraught with difficulties, including shipwrecks and other dangers. Although he faced numerous setbacks on the way, he eventually reached China. His detailed travelogue, the Rihla, provides invaluable information about the political, social, and economic conditions of the Delhi Sultanate and other regions he visited, including parts of Southeast Asia and China.
