Iran has always been significant wit h very strong ties with its neighbors because of the strategic location and deep impact on the evolution of history. In fact, Iran's position on the world and its contribution to the history of the human race can only be known in the light of contact and i nteraction with neighboring powers, among these cultures, is China culture and civilization. Pre - Islamic Iran was in contact with China civilization and in a specified period, ambassadors from Iran regularly traveled to China. Despite the abundance of cult ural, economic and political relations with China in the early centuries of Islam, Muslim geographers and historians' primary knowledge of China and its relations with Iran have been altered. In fact, we do not gain much knowledge from them like their cont emporaries about China. If we divide resources of this period into two parts of mythological and historical, it will be diffi cult to distinct between China as a historical country and a mythological land. The first historians and geographers rarely differe ntiated between East Turkestan, China and the Far East. For this reason, the current study is to find out the geographic location of China and Mahachyn at the thought of the first Islamic historians and geographers.
