In 2026, as a Traveler who has wandered through Teyvat for years, I still find myself thinking about the Fontaine Tour Group Project, a community event HoYoverse ran from August 9 to August 19, 2024, at 23:59 UTC+8. It was not a combat challenge, nor a labyrinthine puzzle. Instead, it invited players to become tour guides for the Nation of Justice. The idea was simple and charming: share your recommended Fontaine attractions on social media with the hashtag #FontaineTourGroup and your Genshin Impact UID, and you could win Primogems. Results were announced on August 29, 2024, and 100 winners each received 160 Primogems. Even now, in 2026, that structure feels like a warm postcard from Fontaine’s golden age.
What the Event Asked Travelers to Do
The Fontaine Tour Group Project was a social media campaign, not an in-game quest. Players could participate on X, formerly Twitter, by retweeting the event post and using the button below it to submit a Fontaine sightseeing recommendation. On Facebook, Naver Cafe, Telegram, VK, and Instagram, the method was slightly different: post your recommendation in the comments section with #FontaineTourGroup and your Genshin Impact UID. The official notes stressed that accounts had to be set to public mode, so entries could actually be seen and verified.

The Fontaine I Would Recommend
If I were writing my entry during the event window, I would have filled my post with poetic, impractical enthusiasm. Fontaine is a region of water, machinery, opera, and law, and its landmarks are perfect for a tour group. I would start at the Court of Fontaine, where the aquabus glides past elegant facades and the Fountain of Lucine hums with quiet majesty. Then I would list the Opera Epiclese, a stage where music and judgment share the same spotlight. For a darker detour, the Fortress of Meropide offers an underwater prison tour unlike anything else in Teyvat. I would also recommend Erinnyes Forest, Romaritime Harbor, Marcotte Station, Vasari Passage, and the dreamlike Annapausis. Each location has its own mood, from cheerful market chatter to melancholy mist over still water.
The Faces of the Campaign
The promotional material featured three Fontaine favorites: Charlotte, Navia, and Clorinde. Their English voice actors were Maya Aoki Tuttle, Brenna Larsen, and Crystal Lee respectively. Seeing them together gave the event a playful, in-universe feeling, as if the Steambird, Spina di Rosula, and the Champion Duelist had all decided to promote tourism. It was a clever way to connect the community campaign to Fontaine’s story and style.

Why It Still Matters in 2026
In 2026, Genshin Impact has moved through many regions and celebrations, but the Fontaine Tour Group Project remains a neat example of HoYoverse turning exploration into a shared social ritual. It did not require resin, combat power, or perfect artifacts. It only asked players to describe what they loved about Fontaine. That accessibility is part of why I remember it. The event transformed every player into a guide, a critic, and a storyteller. For a few August days in 2024, the community was not just clearing domains; it was recommending scenic routes, arguing over the best view of the Fountain of Lucine, and celebrating the beauty of a nation built on water and justice.
As a 2026 retrospective, this is not an active event guide. The dates have passed, the winners were announced, and the Primogems have long been delivered. Still, if you are a newer Traveler exploring Fontaine now, you can use the spirit of #FontaineTourGroup as your own personal challenge. Pick a spot, take a screenshot, and write a little recommendation. The Nation of Justice may be fictional, but the joy of sharing a favorite place is real. 🎭💧⚖️
