Geography courses have many aesthetic education elements. In the teaching process, with the goal of highlighting the unique natural beauty and humanistic beauty inherent in geography, the rational integration of aesthetic education elements in teaching is highly important for improving students’ aesthetic literacy, cultivating a harmonious view of human and land, geographical practical ability, comprehensive thinking, and regional cognition, and cultivating sentiment. Moreover, aesthetic education elements also play a significant role in promoting the scientific and efficient nature of geography classroom teaching. However, the implementation of aesthetic education faces shortcomings, such as a lack of teacher resources, scarcity of specialized teaching materials, and an imperfect evaluation system. Therefore, the research and practice of infiltrating aesthetic education elements in geography teaching urgently need to be strengthened.
