My father moved with all his kids to Beijing because he wanted to use it as a base of exploration.

What does "base of exploration" mean?

Quite literally: 'base' is used here in a sense of 'home', 'starting point' to where you always return, in this case after exploring something (e.g. the rest of China, or life in general).

4a : the starting point or line for an action or undertaking
// plans to make this city his base of operation
