Sense of place is an important research field of humanistic geography in man-land relationship research. Travel and sightseeing is a significant way of perceiving and understanding environments and tourist's sense of place is the outcome of interaction between tourist and destination environment. By constructing model of tourist's sense of place, a case study of Jiuzhaigou shows that (1) differences exist among four dimensions of tourist's sense of place, namely natural scenery, social cultural setting, tourism function, and affectional attachment; (2) natural scenery of Jiuzhaigou is valued unanimously by tourists, which is the primary cause of tourists' affectional attachment to Jiuzhaigou; (3) social cultural settings of Jiuzhaigou is low-valued relatively, which affects tourists' experiential evaluation of tourism environment and function; (4) tourists endow Jiuzhaigou with more meanings of natural scenery sightseeing and aesthetic value than meanings of folk-custom culture experience and historical value, the place particularity of "Tibetan village" is not identified enough by tourists; and (5) significant differences of perception and experiential evaluation occur in Tibetan social customs, local culture, tourism service, sightseeing order and atmosphere. Its implication in planning and management of natural resources and tourist destination is also discussed.
