Lets be real here. Your very first time visiting Liyue, was truly something special.

Feels like visiting Liyue for the first time again.

This game is barely one year old, but hearing this makes us all feels nostalgic

I remember playing Genshin Impact for the first time (That time I didn't even knew the game existed and didn't know it was a popular game, I was just bored one day and decided to download a RPG) So I basically started the game without any knowledge and I remember my first time in the game, the quality was outstanding. (It was free so I wasn't expecting it to look amazing.) I was immediately obsessed and played it 'til I reached a quest which required me to go to Liyue. The first time in Liyue I was surprised at how good the quality was (Again) but it felt different when I reached Liyue Harbor. I remember I was on a small hill side and it was night time. All the lights were on and It looked so good. I remember I had a shock face and was like: "WTF NO ONE TOLD ME THIS GAME WAS THIS BEAUTIFUL!!" And the traditional Chinese music started playing, and I JUST HAD ALL THE FEELS I- Okay sorry for going on a rant lol

that time katheryne asked you to send the letter to katheryne in Liyue, I was so under level, the map was not unlock, dashing and running from the new enemy, and there is a 'omg, i made it' feeling and this song is a celebrating you, welcoming you to the Liyue ....

as a chinese girl who has never visited China and has been dreaming of visiting I cannot tell you how happy I feel everytime I visit liyue.

This OST : Exist Me : This might be a good spot to find some ingredients

You just started liyue's arc, and it was nighttime when you first arrived at the small hill. You watched the lights of liyue harbor as you sat at the little trunk. You were amazed. Although you already knew the beautifulness of this game, yet, seeing liyue was something very special to you. And maybe some of us, felt that genshin is our new home, new world. As if it's the peaceful world we've been searching for.

Imagine walking past Mt. Tianheng for the first time, just across the hill and greeted by this music along with a beautiful and buzzling harbour town.

"To cleanse the land and defend our safe harbor... that was the first contract in Liyue... and now, the final contract, too, has been set in stone" Those words and the fact that I associate this song with my first time visiting Liyue and the end of the lantern festival with that scene of Xiao watching the sky full of lanterns make me realize how easy I get into the world of this game.

Ah the song you hear after successful login (if you choose to "park" your characters in Liyue harbor before logout). Now its time to talk to Katheryne, rearrange the expedition team, pickup the login and mining BP rewards, crafting some condensed resin and checking out what kind of daily commission you get today.

Imagine entering China and this soundtrack automatically plays in your head.

Dear those who are reading this message, if you are having a hard time, remember that you are not alone and never give up. I wish you health, success, love and happiness!

In case anyone is wondering, it is Kurt Hugo Shneider that plays the piano :)

This Soundtrack will forever burned in my memory so bright, like Xiao Lanterns in the Sky

3:22 reminded me of Xiao's little smile T_T

POV: you're collecting 45 qingxin flowers

The music in Genshin Impact hits differently. Every. Single. Soundtrack. No other game had ever made me feel things like this did to me.

I can imagine Zhongli drinking his favourite tea while listen to this

The best thing about Liyue for me was how much Mondstadt hyped Rex Lapis up to be this ultra strict money grabbing Archon. Then when I got to Liyue, there was this lady near the staircase at Feiyun Slope that was super condescending to Barbatos, so it made Liyue seem even more stuck up than Mondstadt. I like how they kept things slightly secret when you're exploring even the harbor itself. It's great world building, imo. Then you can just imagine the amount of work Rex Lapis put into making Liyue a lovely place after 6000 years of guidance when you're met with the Lantern Rite, and how the business-minded people of Liyue just stop whatever they're doing to pay respects, send their wishes and relax.

The first time I arrived in Liyue was literally magical. I kid you not, my jaw dropped and I whispered “woah” as soon as I saw it. I still can’t completely explain what emotions I was experiencing at that moment, I mean, it’s just a game world, right. But I really felt... welcome. Like I’d found a place that was right for me. My heart was bursting with pure joy, I felt so weirdly happy and at peace. I kept smiling like a complete idiot during the whole time that I explored the harbour. I don’t know why, but Liyue (and also Mondstadt) feel like second homes to me. And I’m pretty sure that that’s true for you guys as well.

One of the reasons I love Genshin so much as an Asian American is that there’s so much Chinese representation! It feels oddly like home and I love the fact that they added Chinese names, despite knowing they may be difficult to pronounce. It’s comforting!

See this is why we'll all come back to this game again and again, every time a new region arrives it's a feeling of falling in love all over again, everything looks and sounds so magical, and then, ad astra abyssosque, the exploration begins anew.

The lantern rite cutscene bgm though... I'm not tearing up you are! 太棒了！

Im just ar 30 And this is already nostalgic- I remember the times when i was ar 15 or 16 i explored liyue by my self without getting The quest from katheryne When i arrived at wangshuu in I thought i was On the actual harbor And then My friend told me its in the actual other side of the map- And there it goes The most magical feeling ever- OWUFKWHFKWHX

Happy Chinese lunar new year & lantern festival!best wishes for all of you!

This is the soundtrack of an underlevelled traveler embarking on a journey to meet another Katheryne

Can't believe I'm seeing Kurt Hugo Shneider here omg

now, cant wait to go back in 2030 and listen to this again

If you close your eyes listening to this I feel like walking thru the streets of Liyue

i always loved liyue since the first tome i visited it. its like ... its waking up my inner asian 👁️👄👁️

I can feel xiangling is busy at cooking and serving her customers🙈

I find myself back here again after watching this year's Lantern Rite. It makes you feel like you're back home again.

I was gliding from Dragonspine, the Liyue map wasn't unlock yet and my under leveled team already so worn out. But then I finally discovered Liyue and this music welcomed me. I instantly forgot about all the pain before I got here. A magical experience for me and now it feels so nostalgic.

Whoa, that _flute-like_ instrument sounds really different than what I expected! Still _blown_ away by it tho.

i remember when i went to travel to liyue because of the liyue katheryene quest. i was so lost and didn’t know where to go so i just followed the teleportation waypoints and the navigation to liyue since i didn’t unlock a lot of the view of the map for liyue yet. while traveling, finding npcs, small villages and wangshu inn was a relief, because i was a low level player exploring a location with higher leveled monsters (hated whopperflowers) so finding a place where there wasn’t any monsters after traveling for a long amount of time gave me time to relax (this was before fighting dvalin, hence why i was a lower level than the monsters in liyue). then, while following the path trying to find liyue, luckily, it was night time and i saw a city filled with glowing lights. i was so fascinated and stunned, seeing that it was so beautiful. i ran straight to the gate, talked to every npc, fed the dog (stayed with the dog for a while), and explored the incredible city with fantastic music. i love genshin impact, it gave me a feeling that i, myself was inside of the game and feeling the traveler’s feelings, feeling lost and alone without anyone with them traveling (at least in the game, paimon is exploring with us but we don’t see or talk to her). hearing this music makes me feel somehow nostalgic, thank you guys for playing this so nicely, it’s so nice to the ears and makes my heart feel happy.

you know it yourself, Liyue have the most beautiful scenery ranging from mountains to valleys and even oceans

when i first entered liyue, i was so dumb & didn’t even realize you had to unlock the statues to see the land on the map, so i didn’t even know i was in liyue in the first place

i was really scared during my journey to liyue because the map was still not completed and i was anxious about wandering to places i've never been to so when i reached liyue and saw how beautiful the place was, it became a moment i would never forget

if there's an oscar for video game music scoring, this song should be nominated at the very least

It sounds so dramatic is a good sense that it felt like a movie theme song! So beautiful!!! WELL DONE!

This is beautiful, my tears came out at 2:34 for no reason.

imagine liyue, but a hundred times more beautiful and diverse, and in real life. that's China.

We're to focus on getting a new characters and beating the game and forgot how beautiful the worlds of tevyat.

I knew the first time I heard the Lantern Rite ost, it will be forever in my heart and soul. The reason why I started playing Genshin and continue to do so, was because of three things. One, the Storyline. Two, The Lantern Rite Festival. And Three..... Xiao

One of the most beautiful soundtrack in Liyue. Fantastic!!

throwback to how excited i got when i entered liyue and traditional chinese instruments started playing

2:36 Lantern rite always give me so much emotion!

POV: The Genshin Impact Anime ended its Liyue Arc with the ending of the Lantern Rite Event Quest, and the 2nd half of this soundtrack is playing in the background.

2:35 is FANTASTIC

The beauty of China is underrated. We should show it. Thanks genshin for showing 🫂

What I love about this game is that despite having sad stories of the npcs and the playable characters, you somehow forget it because everything is beautiful and the music is awesome. Like it's telling me that yeah life sucks sometimes but there's always something that helps us forget and appreciate the good things that come as well and inspires me to keep going. might be a bit cheesy and cringey but that's just how I feel.

Played this in CHINATOWN, im enjoying the mood while buying meds for my gramps

Genshin impact set the bar so high for rpgs 😭❤️

Damn. Walking from Guili Plains to Liyue Harbor makes me teary in nostalgia even though the game is barely a year old

I just love this. I love China, I'm really interested to know more about their culture, music & more

That second half transports me back to the beautiful Lantern Rite cutscene.

感觉回到过年的那时候，感觉真好。那也是我第一次在游戏中感受到年味。那时候给我印象很深刻，希望原神能继续这样下去，不要变质。加油米哈游

God this game........... just there are always almost no words to describe how much I love everything about this games world...

This is one of the most beautiful arrangement of LIyue ... tearing up.

Jae I loved it!! Thank you!!!!

This is so underrated. I literally feel chills

If youtube could give maximum 100 likes instead of one i will give you all. It's a very detailed arrangement and performance. Thank you so much for covering this. :)

Wow! Incredible as ever ! Your so talented

I was at AR 11, I think. Then I was too scared of ruin guards and couldn’t defeat Dvalin either. So my experience was strange at first. I was just jumping on roofs and collecting those mushrooms for no reason. Then I thought: I’m so bored.. and I think there’s also a city somewhere out there. So, since I already went to Wangshu inn, I walked from there to Liyue. It was amazing. Since my level was low, I was scared of every monster that was there, but I finally reached it. When you don’t have a map and waypoints, and you don’t know what to expect, this all is really surprising and beautiful.

I just found out genshin impact and all of the music from the game is so good. I don't play games but I love thier theme songs . I was so into Atelier , Onmyoji and Nier Automata. Now , time to explore genshin music !!

this is so magical TT
