The subject of Geography is a vital component of the general education curriculum for college students.The issue of how to design and teach the open course of " regional geography: the world and China" needs further discussion.This paper argues for flexible contents including a series of themes relating to regional Geography that can accommodate students from varied academic backgrounds.In particular, these teaching topics will combine some regional hotspots and basic scientific problems, such as the national proposal of " One Belt, One Road" and global warming issues.The curriculum includes both theoretical knowledge and some application case studies, which will make the course content more specific and attractive, and then stimulate students' interest in learning.
