This thesis comprises seven chapters. The first chapter defines the proposition and explains the research scope and methods. Chapter Two investigates Qing-Vietnam diplomatic relations and the situations of Vietnamese envoys to Beijing in the Qing dynasty. Chapter Three interprets the landscapes of Beijing written by Vietnamese diplomatic envoys. The researcher argues that the writings of the Vietnamese envoys imply a clear boundary between localism and exoticism. Nevertheless, since Vietnamese envoys have been deeply immersed in Chinese culture, part of the landscape space in their writings changes into a place of value recognition. Chapter Four discusses the official and private events recorded by Vietnamese envoys in Beijing, and points out that their writings center on official events. Chapter Five illustrates the images of the Chinese royal family and Korean envoys seen by the Vietnamese envoys in the Qing dynasty, the Vietnamese envoys’ friendship with Chinese officials and Joseon (朝鮮) envoys, and their follow-up developments. Chapter Six analyzes the feelings of Vietnamese envoys living in Beijing and observes the contemporary political situations in the Qing dynasty. The final chapter summarizes the research results and considers it possible to regard the Vietnamese envoys’ writings of Beijing in the Qing dynasty as an alternative guidebook; thus, readers can find details about private daily life and gain an insight into the narratives of national identity.
