Anjum, he had two expeditions to the West Regions. During his first expedition, he learnt that India was located to the southwest of China. In 122 BC, he sent four expeditions to reach India. However, they didn't make it because some minorities in the southwest part of China stopped them.

See, he didn't successfully find the trade route to India. However, he made Han people known of India.
