When Marco Polo went on his trip he had to cross the Taklimakan Desert and he crossed it by camel
Similarities:
They had trade when Marco Polo went on his trip to Kashgar and they still had trade when Denis and Francis went
Denis and Francis:
Denis and Francis did not have camels to use in order to cross the Taklimakan Desert so they crossed it by jeep.
