May19th has been celebrated as China’s National Tourism Day since2011. It was the day when Xu Xiake, a great geographer and writer in the Ming Dynasty started recording what he saw in Travel Notes of Xu Xiake
With his mother’s encouragement, Xu began his journey at age 22. He travelled through China for more than 30 years, and several of his route(路线) are still used today. Now let’s follow his footprints (足迹) and visit some tourist attractions in China.
As recorded in his book, the first place Xu travelled to was Tiantai Mountain, the birthplace of China’s Buddhism(佛教) and Taoism(道教) where he wrote about the sights of the mountain in 1613. One year later, Xu visited Jinling, the ancient name for Nanjing. The city was not only the capital of China for six dynasties, but also a centre for education, research, and transportation in history. In 1616, Xu went on a journey to the West Lake. With an area of around 6.4 square kilometres, the lake is known for its attractive landscape and ancient buildings in the surrounding(周围的) areas. From 1618 to 1623, Xu visited some famous mountains in South China, such as Mount Huang, Lushan Mountain and Mount Wudang. Later, Xu went north to Shanxi Province in 1633 and visited Mount Wutai and Mount Heng.
Xu was on the road all his life. Although he met with many difficulties, he never stopped travelling and writing. His experiences helped him discover several mistakes in earlier books. For example, he found the Minjiang River was not the real birthplace of the Yangtze River. With his 600,000-word travel notes, Xu made a big difference to the history of Chinese geography.
