A short video on some cultural elements behind the Lantern Rite Festival in game (official English subtitles available), but DON’T eat yuanxiao/tangyuan the way I did at the end of the video when they are hot because you WILL burn your tongue!

Woah~(*0*) !!!
Really good for the details of Lantern Rite Festival's story~
You are so pretty nice, k3tchup >< <3
Nice video! I wish that nights in Genshin Impact were darker, so the lantern light would be contrasted more with the environment.
Speaking of riddles – I think I just figured out the last riddle from the Qingce village questline. It refers to the floating lanterns.
Love ur voice❤️!
Thanks for the cultural references, and hopefully you had a great Lunar New Year celebration! This makes me kind of miss the holidays in China when I used to travel there for work lol.
This is gold! I've always wondered about the lantern festival story 🙂
Hi…Wanna flying the lantern together?
I have many lanterns in the game, and…i don't know for what….-.-",
