There are some moments in Genshin Impact that stop you in your tracks. Perhaps it was when you emerged from a cave and viewed Sumeru for the first time. Maybe it was glimpsing Liyue Harbor from a far-off mountain peak. Either way, we've all had these experiences where beauty is too loud to be ignored. Come join us as we discover the 40 most beautiful locations in Genshin Impact.
40 Scenic Places in Genshin Impact
Southern Watatsumi Island
This gorgeous photo is taken from the perspective of the Teleport Waypoint at the southern end of Watatsumi Island. From this mountainside, you can see the Sangonomiya Shrine in all its glory. This location conveys the sheer scale of the shrine, leaving us without words.
Statue of the Omnipresent God
This photo was taken from the head of the Statue of the Omnipresent God in Inazuma City. Although this statue represents the horrors of the Vision Hunt Decree, it possesses a lovely view of Narukami Island. With scenery like this, it is difficult to avoid feeling hopeful about the future of Inazuma.
Qingce Village
This photo was taken on top of a lamppost on the western end of Qingce Village, next to the Teleport Waypoint. The location was captured without zoom, so the maximum amount of landscape could be included.

Chasm Outskirts
This photo was taken from the outskirts of The Chasm, next to the Statues of the Seven on the western side. It is challenging to imagine the massive dimensions of The Chasm, but this location helps convey the scale. The Chasm looks lovely from this location.
