Abstract：Scholars were particularly active and led the tourism fashion in the tourism boom in the late Ming Dynasty. They travelled for the pursuit of comfort and entertainment, or to get rid of identity anxiety in social competition and shape their own cultural taste, distinguish them to the public. More importantly, the special social situation and life experience in the late Ming Dynasty made them have a kind of mental attachment to tourism. Influenced by WANG Yang-ming's heart-mind theory, the self-consciousness awakening scholars devoted themselves to tourism and regarded it as a “pleasure career”, while facing the strong attraction of scenic mountains and rivers. In the process of traveling, they integrated other cultural hobbies into it, forming their own unique cultural taste and lifestyle. They took tourism as their ambition to realize the pursuit of value, wrote their experience to complete the cultural mission after touring and sought fun for reflecting the elegance and novelty of their class. They toured freewheelingly and paid attention to life experience, shunning no difficulties or dangers, exploring bravely, which could be called “travel of natural soul”. As a group with rich cultural and artistic accomplishment, they integrated culture into tourism and carried out cultural construction on tourism. They marked cultural marks on landscape by their poems, paintings and travel notes, investigated history and identified historic sites, protected cultural relics and restored remains, made new tour equipment, opened up new styles of touring, explored and inherited the cultural tradition. The cultural construction made by the scholars in the late Ming Dynasty in their “travel of natural soul”, has written a strong mark in the history of tourism.
