The area was the frontier for much of China's history, forming a natural passage to the Central Asian portion of the empire. In fact, the name Zhangye (lit. "to extend the arm") is an abbreviation of (lit. To extend the arm of the country, through to the Western Realm). During the Western Han dynasty, Chinese armies were often engaged against the Xiongnu in this area. It was also an important section of the Silk Road. The Mongol Emperor Kublai Khan is said to have been born in the Dafo Temple, which is also the site of the longest reclining wooden Buddha in China. The city was formerly known as Ganzhou (), a name retained both in the municipal region seat Ganzhou District and the ''Gan'' of the province of Gansu. In ''The Travels of Marco Polo'', Marco Polo describes spending a year in a city called ''Campichu'', which has been identified with Ganzhou (Zhangye).〔''The Travels of Marco Polo'', by Marco Polo , translated by Henry Yule.
