{{Unreferenced section|date=November 2023}}
Al-Idrisi mentioned that Chinese [[Junk (ship)|junk]]s carried leather, swords, iron and silk. He mentions the glassware of the city of [[Hangzhou]] and labels [[Quanzhou]]'s silk as the best.
In his records of Chinese trade, al-Idrisi also wrote about the [[Silla|Silla Dynasty]] (one of Korea's historical Dynasties, and a major trade partner to China at the time), and was one of the first Arabs to do so. Al-Idrisi's References to Silla led other Arab merchants to seek Silla and its trade, and contribute to many Arab's perception of Silla as the ideal East-Asian country.
