Abstract The outbreak of Wuchang Uprising attracted the keen attention of foreign visitors in China, and they wrote books and articles about their observations and views on the Xinhai Revolution. With shock, although they failed to fully reveal the nature of the bourgeois revolution, they pointed out to a considerable extent the various factors that led to the inevitability of the revolution and the trend towards the republic. They saw the Xinhai Revolution as a turning point in history, which had a significant impact on China's political diplomacy, economy and society, ideology and culture, and had worldwide significance. At the same time, they also observed the shortcomings of the revolution itself, especially the excessive violence that appeared in “anti Manchu”, the particular form of the Xinhai Revolution, which they revealed in an explicit manner. By either direct contact, or hearing and witnessing, they understood and recognized the different figures at the turning point in history, showing the other side of the revolution. The foreign visitors' cognition of the Xinhai Revolution not only provided some new historical facts and objective comments, but also reflected the ideological standpoint and subjective biases of Western countries.
