Sanbao taijian xiyang ji (traditional Chinese: 三寶太監西洋記; simplified Chinese: 三宝太监西洋记), also translated into English as The Eunuch Sanbao's Voyage to the Western Ocean or The Journey of Sanbao the Eunuch to the Western Ocean, is a classic Chinese novel written by Luo Maodeng (羅懋登) in the late 16th-century during the Ming dynasty. It consist of 100 chapters and is set in the early 15th-century. The novel is about the voyages of admiral Zheng He. However, instead of a realistic chronicle of Zheng He's journeys, the novel is a blend of "factual" and "fantastic narrative", full of monsters and supernatural beings, akin in style to the shenmo novels of the same period.
