Park Ji-Won(朴趾源), one of the best stylist in domestic, who traveled a province of China in Beijing and Yeolha(熱河), wrote Yeolha Diary(熱河日記). And J.W. Goethe, a writer of great literature, also wrote work Italian Journey after a trip to Rome. No means inferior to the work of travel literature to represent the East and West. Two works in the 18th century was wrote after a trip to the cultural and artistic heart of China and Italy. Both travel literature appeared common literary humanities literary through the experience of enlightenment. In both works, we can find awareness of issues as intellectuals and perspective of observers. The two works is judged by excellence, because insight of writers who reinterpreted trip place through perspective of humanities is amazing. This is because the depth of thought and the extent of expression meet the social needs and contemporary consciousness. These affinities means that we can discuss the value of two works together in one place. Yeolha Diary is a travelogue diary and collection of social critic and literary works. Watching the world, Park Ji-Won felt greatly the role and responsibility as intellectuals. Therefore, he tried to practice seriously until about this subject. He worried what his own reason to exist as a member of the Choseon and China, and over all the earth, and how to see the world, then wrote about these thought in Yeolha Diary. On the other hand, Goethe tried to maintain perspective to reflect on his inner through the history and artifacts of Italy and Italian and things. In this respect, Italian Journey is similar to personal autobiography. These differences between the two travel literature can give meaning to their own work.
