Liyue (/ˈliːˌweɪ/, Chinese: 璃月; pinyin: Líyuè; lit. 'Jade or Glazed Moon') is a fictional nation in the video game Genshin Impact, developed by miHoYo. It is located in the eastern part of the game's continent, Teyvat, and serves as the main location for the first chapter of the game's main storyline.
The creation of Liyue took one year, and its design is based on Ancient China, with artistic references to China's Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Huanglong Scenic Area, the landscape of Guilin, Fenghuang Ancient Town, and the Hanging Temple in Shanxi. This setting has been positively received, praised as a symbol of Chinese culture within the game.
