Located within the heart of the region are the Nine Pillars of Peace and a temple to the center. When the player enters the vicinity of the pillars, the sky will turn dark and gray, and areas outside Cuijue Slope will have an unnaturally dark appearance to them. This visual effect will persist until the player reaches a certain range away from the area.

Huaguang Stone Forest is surrounded by three mountains: Mt. Aocang to the north, Qingyun Peak to the east, and Mt. Hulao to the southwest.

While there are no Teleport Waypoints in this area, the ones on the surrounding mountains can be used to easily reach it.

It is said to be the place where the adepti live. Normally no one dares to try to set foot here, but some brave or desperate people still try to seek the adepti for good fortune.

There are two Teleport Waypoints in this area: southwest of the domain Taishan Mansion, and another to the west leading towards Guili Plains.

Mt. Aocang was the domain of the adeptus Cloud Retainer while she lived in isolation, following the Archon War and until the events of A Thousand Moonlit Miles.

The large pieces of Amber Rock found along the mountain are formed by flowers Mountain Shaper planted to keep out intruders. These plants, called karst crawlers, are mostly hidden underground and will produce Amber Rock to trap anything that steps on it.^[1] Breaking the amber will reveal what was trapped inside — either treasure or enemies.

This region notably features the Dragon-Queller, a large tree used to seal Azhdaha, whom Jiu worships. The dragon has begun merging with the tree, using its roots to connect to the ley lines and draw power from them.

At the tip of the tree is a large blue branch, which points directly towards Liyue Harbor. That portion of the tree also cannot be climbed on.

Qingyun Peak is the home of the adeptus Moon Carver.

Notably, the Dwelling in the Clouds — a small floating island high above this mountain — can be reached by completing a puzzle. It was created by Cloud Retainer at an unknown point in the past.

There are two Teleport Waypoints in this area: one to the east and one to the south. On the western side of the valley are three ruined towers.
