* Zheng He built the Tianfei Palace ({{zh|labels=no|t=天妃宫|p=Tiānfēigōng|l=Palace of the Celestial Wife}}), a temple in honour of the [[Chinese mythology|goddess]] [[Mazu (goddess)|Mazu]], in Nanjing after the fleet returned from its first western voyage in 1407.
* The "Deed of Foreign Connection and Exchange" ({{lang|zh|通番事跡}}) or "Tongfan Deed Stele" is located in the Tianfei Palace in [[Liuhe, Taicang]], whence the expeditions first departed. The [[stele]] was submerged and lost but has been rebuilt.
* To thank the [[Mazu (goddess)|Celestial Wife]] for her blessings, Zheng He and his colleagues rebuilt the Tianfei Palace in Nanshan, [[Changle]] County, Fujian Province as well before they left on their last voyage. At the renovated temple, they raised a stele, "A Record of Tianfei Showing Her Presence and Power" ({{zh|labels=no|t=天妃靈應之記|p=Tiānfēi Líng Yīng zhī Jì}}), discussing their earlier voyages.<ref>Fish, Robert J.
