This research aims to explore the potential for the educational use of travelogues from the late Qing Dynasty, with a focus on their application in literary education. The late Qing Dynasty travelogues, as documents in which Chinese intellectuals recorded their experiences and observations of the Western world, serve as crucial materials for understanding the perceptions of the West at that time and the social and cultural reactions within China. To utilize these travelogues as literary and educational resources, this study seeks to explore methods of creating literary maps using QGIS. This effort contributes to a meaningful task that allows for a transcendent contemplation of the patterns of places visited by Chinese people during the modern era and a comprehensive understanding of the context of their journeys. Such an approach opens new possibilities for use not only in literary education but also in geography and history education, among other educational fields. The late Qing Dynasty travelogues transcend mere travel records, deeply connecting to the social, cultural, and political contexts of the era, and through them, it is possible to foster critical and creative thinking necessary for understanding the present through the past and envisioning the future.
