I use R code and Baidumap API to show my trips:

# I realized chinese string have more success match with their coordinates
city<- c("北京","吉林省", "广东","湖北","重庆","广西","西藏","四川", "云南", "海南")
begin<-rep("beijing",length(city)) #(起点)
mapdata<-data.frame(begin,city)
getBaiduMap2(city, width = 400, height = 400, zoom = 10, scale = 2,
color = "color", messaging = TRUE)
map_pic <- remap(mapdata = mapdata, #数据框
title = "Footsteps covered most hotspots of China", #标题
subtitle = "Field work activities from 2006-2012", #副标题
theme = get_theme(theme = "Dark")) #主题
plot(map_pic)
