英文摘要：

This article explored the concept of place, place myth, collective memory and national identity firstly, and then traced the progress of the research area of national identity. Especially, focus on cultural geographers findings on this area. The Angle-American human Geographers mainly explore the relationship between place of memory and national identity. Since 1980, there is more and more literature on this area. Some Scholars explore the relationship between heritage tourism and national identity. This article focus on Huangpu Military Academy in Guangzhou and its Visitors, my issue is how to write the place myth and how place, place myth influence visitors collective memory and national identity. In this study, Methods used are participant observation and text analysis. Our findings are： Firstly, visitors＂ experiences in museum and heri- tage sites is not only experience of leisure and aesthetic, but also experiences of place myth. Secondly, place and place myth play different role in recall visitors＂ collective memory of Huangpu Military Academy and our country＇s past. The collective memory recall through place is preexist in visitors＂ consciousness, which received in daily life, such as education, media, literary and so on. And the collective memory recalls through place myth are much more than this. Besides recall visitors＂ collective memory, place myth also constructs and re-constructs visitors＂ collective memory. The memorials, the painting of hero and the narration let visitors know and re-know the past of Huangpu Military Academy and the country, even subvert previous memory. So we argue that place myth construct and re-construct visitors＂ collective memory.
