Abstract

By extracting the tracing information of Xu Xiake’s travels to Zhejiang Province recorded in his The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, this research constructed his tracing database by using geographic information system technology, and carried out detailed spatial analysis and visual expression of Xu Xiake’s travels. This research resolved two controversies. First, when Xu Xiake visited Zhejiang Province for the second time in 1616, he went into Kaihua (Anhui Province) from Changshan. After visiting Huangshan Mountain, he traveled across Tunxi to Changshan, then went through Jiangxi into Fujian Province. Second, on his way home after visiting Tiantai Mountain and Yandang Mountain for the third time, Xu Xiake and Xu Zhongzhao parted at Shangyu and went to Siming Mountain alone.
