In this book, the author tells the history of finding the Pacific Ocean from a new vision: from the Isthmus of Panama to the serene Hill Dalian, from the Polynesian first discovery of the Pacific Ocean to Magellan's sailing trip, from the frenzy of the New World explorers to the consequent big scam causing bankruptcy of thousands of Europeans, from the miracle of Easter Island to the real life of the Robinson Crusoe's hero's prototype. Long Fang tells us the great navigators' great achievements in centuries and describes how the mysteries of the Pacific Oceans were discovered.
