Genshin Impact is always expanding its map and new and old players might be wondering how to access Chenyu Vale in Liyue. This is the area surrounding Mt. Yaojun, and it holds a rich history within the nation.
This area was once under the dominion of the Adeptus “Herblord”. Chenyu Vale is known as a location with many mountains and rivers, so there’s a lot to do here. In this guide, I’ll tell you how to reach Chenyu Vale in Update 4.4.
How To Reach Chenyu Vale
To unlock the Chenyu Vale, players must finish the Prologue Act 3 Archon Quest Song of the Dragon and Freedom. So, you can get started unlocking Teleport Waypoints. Once you get here though, you can unlock the teleport waypoints and fast travel to Chenyu Vale in the future.
Also, make sure to check out our dedicated guide on Chenyu’s Blessing of Sunken Jade, it has complete information on the 4.4 Update’s new questline!
Getting to Chenyu Vale
To get to Chenyu Vale, you will have to finish the Prologue Act 3 Archon Quest Song of the Dragon and Freedom. You must go through a few quests starting with the main one.
As a new player, getting to this part of the game may take you some time, so just go through the missions at your own pace.
Once finished, you will get to enter the Chenyu Vale region without Paimon stopping you. By then, you can enter Chenyu Vale and trigger Chenyu Vale’s questline of Genshin impact.
I’ll explain in detail how to get full access to the Chenyu Vale region below and which questline you need to start.
Start the Qiaoying of the Sacred Mountain Main Quest
To start, go to the quest location of the Qiaoying of the Sacred Mountain. This is a main quest so you should have it on the roster of quests already.
Once you start it, you will enter a new character Fujin’s Adeptal Domain.
When starting this quest, the Traveler will encounter the Adeptus Fujin, who was once a giant gold carp who took a human form. You will speak with her for a bit and she explains that the soil and waters are declining.
As the traveler you (as usual) don’t get a choice to say no and end up being enlisted to help Fujin perform the Rainjade Rite to restore Chenyu Vale. Players will then unlock a new mechanic to help get around the area.
I’ll talk about this new mechanic and what they do below.
Golden Carp’s Leap
Players can now see pearls of water scattered throughout Chenyu Vale. Use these to transform into a Golden Carp fish and enter them. Now, you can cross the mountains and rivers of Chenyu Vale without spending stamina and wasting time.
This travel feature is a lot like the sigils in Sumeru.
Now that you have spoken to Fujin and have been enlisted in this new quest, you can leave her domain with your newly attained Adeptal Energy.
And that will be it! You now have access to Chenyu Vale and are free to explore all the mysteries it has to offer. Of course, once you get to the side quests, you might need some help with the puzzles. We’re one step ahead of you with our Spirit Orb Quest Guide.
