The Voyage to the East

As Lan Su and his crew sailed towards the east, they encountered fierce storms and treacherous waters. But with skillful navigation and unwavering determination, they persevered.

Finally, after weeks at sea, they spotted land on the horizon - a lush green island surrounded by crystal-clear waters.
