The Chinese authorities noted the contribution of Genshin Impact developers to the promotion of culture and the development of tourism in the country
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China has compiled the top 10 digital projects in the field of culture and tourism for 2022. miHoYo was the only gaming company whose project was included in this list.
Officials did not say why they specifically chose miHoYo. But GameLook journalists suggest that they appreciated the appearance of locations inspired by the nature of China in Genshin Impact. For example, back in 2020, the developers admitted that Zhangjiajie National Park became one of the prototypes of the Li Yue region.
