This study systematically designed a new framework for history education based on historical experience, introducing the concept of Travel History. First, the study explored the educational value of travel and provided a rationale for understanding travel as a form of historical experience. Drawing on the example of the Travel Geography course in geography education, the study derived implications for history education and established the direction and content framework for Travel History. Based on this, thematic areas of Travel History were developed, emphasizing contextual historical experiences by integrating them with existing history education. The educational significance of Travel History is as follows. First, it enables students to naturally and engagingly understand history by grounding learning in their everyday historical experiences. Second, it fosters students' ability to think historically through travel, helping them grow into individuals who not only learn history but also appreciate and enjoy it. In conclusion, Travel History presents new possibilities for elementary history education and serves as an educational model that enhances elementary students' historical understanding and practical application.
