Genshin Impact’s Golden Apple Archipelago region is located east of Mondstadt and is divided into a number of small islands.

It’s worth noting that the Golden Apple Archipelago is exclusive to the current Genshin Impact version. As a result, travelers can’t access this region after the end of 2.8, which is expected to conclude on August 24.

While exploring this new region, you can open treasure chests, gather materials, and earn quest rewards on the islands. These will eventually reward you with Primogems and other valuable resources to help you prepare for the upcoming events. So grab the opportunity, meet the conditions before it unlocks, and bag the free rewards.

That concludes our guide to unlocking the Golden Apple Archipelago in Genshin Impact.
