Whether domestic or oversea travel, people are ready to be engaged themselves in such entertainment, and therefore people’s field of sight is getting wilder. Travel fives people fresh tastes, including intellectual growth as well as perceptual cultivation, so it not only has the advantage of kill time and entertainment, but also bring you harvest by widening the life circle and knowing the world. Owing to the abundant gains travelers acquired in the course of travel, they want to share these gains and feelings with others, and that is why “Traveling literature” is so-called “Travels,” both put stress on travelers’ experience and feelings in strange land, though the key points and contents may vary with time. The vivid description always makes readers identify themselves with authors. However, what deserves to be mentioned is that travel is not privileged to adults. There are many chances for children to travel, and what children obtained in travel will bring them even greater influence, especially to those who are in their growing and learning stages. Therefore, aiming at the children and travels, this thesis takes “Children’s Travels” as the probing subject. At first, we define the term “Children’s Travels” with the document analyzing method and list the basic definitions and particulars, and next, with the text analyzing method, we massively collect the text that is correspondent to the “Children’s Travels” and then induce and analyze the text, conferring from two respects, the types of “Children’s Travels” and the writing modes, to coordinate systematically the “Children’s Travels.” After having a profound understanding to “Children’s Travels,” we can construct applicable teaching methods of children’s travels writing as the reference to teachers in related fields, and also expect our children are able to create more and better works of travels. Travels is the current trend, and the basic contents and objectives of the Nine-Year Coherent Curriculum also convey the same message, hence the writer considers that “Children’s Travels” is an indispensable part in children’s literature. Having children begin with reading and appreciation, and then create their own works and progress step by step, we expect children are able to acquire intellectuality and perceptiveness, meanwhile, cultivate broad-mindedness and grand world outlook.
