Abstract  Based on the concept of big data, the 52896 geo-tagged photos data from Beijing international visitors on Flickr website were collected and selected, which involved 26 countries or regions' users, to estimate visitor densities and distribution patterns in temporal and spatial dimension. Regression analysis showed that the time-space behavior of Beijing's international visitors are greatly influenced by the cultural distance, there are significant differences in arrival time of visitors, the number of tourists visited attractions, and the preferences of 21 attractions. Firstly, with the cultural distance increases, short-haul international visitors' stay days will increase. Secondly, the greater the cultural distance of visitors, the more preference for Chinese distinctive culture and the historic attractions of Beijing attractions such as the Lama Temple, Qianmen Street, Drum Tower Street, Panjiayuan market; the greater the cultural distance of independent visitors, the more preference for taking high-speed rail as travel tool. Thirdly, visitors with large cultural distance are less likely to travel at night. Fourthly, the visitors with small cultural distance will choose to visit Beijing in January, while the visitors with large cultural distance, such as Holland, Sweden, etc. will choice April and October to Beijing; At last, the combination of cultural distance and geographic distance can provide more accurate international visitors" needs in terms of time and space.
