It is very interesting to see what Spaniards thought about China at that time. The documents mention Taiwan, too. In the summer of 1582 a warship anchored off the coast of Taiwan, and a Spanish missionary on board wrote about how amazed he was at the island's beautiful scenery. He also described things he saw in Taiwan, including aboriginal inhabitants and hunters.
非常有趣的是，從文獻的描述，可以得知當時西班牙人對中國印象和觀念，其中也提到台灣，一五八二年夏天一艘戰艦曾停泊台灣沿海，透過當時一名傳教士的紀錄，我們得知他驚豔於台灣的美麗風景，同時描述他所看到的一些當地土人、獵人等等。
