This paper reviewed the major achievements of geography in China over the past 60 years. It point- ed out that such accomplishments are unmatched by any other countries in the world in the diversity of fields, scale, and their contributions to solve significant practical problems in the development of our country and society and that the theoretical progress made in certain important fields also took a leading position in the world in gener- al. The 33 rd International Geographical Congress which will be held in Beijing in August 2016 will be a rare op- portunity for Chinese geography to display its notable achievements to the world systematically and thoroughly. We should take full advantage of this Congress and make it a good opportunity for Chinese geography to comprehensively reach out to and lead the world in the new development of geography.
