There's a beautiful world full of amazing sights to behold in Genshin Impact, but it is also a very large one when traveling by foot. You're by no means slow, but having the ability to fast travel across massive distances becomes an absolute necessity when your next objective or destination is the whole way across the game's expansive world. That's where Genshin Impact's fast travel system comes into play, although it does require some work on your part to get up and running. Here's how to fast travel in Genshin Impact.
Updated October 18, 2021, By Helen Ashcroft: As the world of Teyvat expands to include three different regions it's more important than ever to be able to travel quickly around. This guide has been updated to add all the ways to fast travel through Teyvat.
Ways To Teleport In Genshin Impact
As you explore the map in Genshin Impact, going on quests and otherwise traversing the land, you should keep your eyes peeled for different ways you can teleport. They are:
Waypoints
These appear as odd floating structures with a blue glow. They are placed all over the map, and the more you have uncovered, the more options you have when teleporting around.
These Teleport Waypoints don't just turn on automatically, though. Each one needs to be interacted with to make it functional, as well as earn you a bit of XP for your trouble. They will be red when you first approach them and turn blue once they have been clicked on.
Statues Of The Seven
There are some other important landmarks in the game, including the Statues of the Seven, which also serve as fast travel points. It is almost always worth going out of your way to investigate points of interest you come across for a new location you can warp to later.
There are five statues in Mondstadt, five in Liyue, and one in Dragonspine. You'll also find seven in Inazuma, one on each main island.
Domains
You can also fast travel to any domain you've previously visited. As with waypoints and statues, domains will appear in red before you unlock them. Once they are unlocked you can teleport to them and you'll be outside the entrance.
There are three types of domain, Abyssal Domains, which are repeatable, Advanced Domains, which are one-time instances, and Trounce Domains, which reset weekly. All appear the same from the outside but some require you to solve environmental puzzles in order to reach the entrance.
How To Use The Map To Find Fast Travel Locations
Each of these ways to fast travel is visible on the map you can access in-game, and they all have unique markers. They appear greyed out at first but then go white once they are usable. This is your best tool for finding the location of each teleport point. The markers are as follows:
|

Regular Waypoint Most Common Teleport |

Statue Of The Seven Also Heals Characters |

Abyssal Domains Repeatable Artifact Domains |

Advanced and Trounce Domains One Time and Weekly Bosses |

How To Fast Travel In Genshin Impact
Once you have a few Teleport Waypoints, using them is a breeze. Rather than forcing you to go to a specific spot, or an existing waypoint, you're free to fast travel from anywhere you wish. Simply open your map from the menu and select any of the waypoints you've unlocked.
Any Teleport Waypoints that are blue and white are the ones you have already opened, while the grey ones still need to be interacted with. A little text about that area will appear on the right side of the screen along with the options to teleport and cancel. Just select teleport and voila — you'll be immediately transported to your destination.
You will appear next to a Waypoint or Statue of the Seven and outside any Domain. If you teleport to Spiral Abyss you'll end up outside the spirling portal pictured above which is on the island you can see on the map. The portal will take you into the instance.
