Where Winds Meet: Hexi Liangzhou Investigation Locations

To clear the 16 Fengyanzhuan investigation markers (also listed as Kenbun spots) in the Hexi Liangzhou region of Where Winds Meet, begin at the initial valley marker The Path Continues and work northward into high-elevation mountain routes such as the Depths of Qilian. Visiting each marker updates your regional exploration tally, contributing directly to map milestones and merchant reputation tokens.

Investigation Progression and Marker Sequence

The 16 regional investigation points test map navigation and vertical traversal. Because full map completion requires visiting all physical locations rather than merely viewing them from a distance, following a structured route prevents unnecessary backtracking across Liangzhou's terrain.

Location Category	Recommended Focus	Key Characteristics
Valley Starting Point	Initial marker (The Path Continues)	Triggers the primary exploration checklist in the central region.
High-Elevation Passes	Qilian Mountain sector (Depths of Qilian)	Requires climbing, parkour skills, and stamina management.
Peripheral Markers	Outer Hexi map edges	Involves longer travel distances away from main fast-travel hubs.

Routing Order

Start in the Valley: Interact with the first marker, The Path Continues (行く先はなお続く), to establish your tracking loop.
Ascend the Qilian Sector: Head toward the high-altitude routes, including Depths of Qilian (祁連の奥地). Utilize nearby rock outcroppings or elevated ruins to glide across gaps and reach cliffside ledges.
Clear Peripheral Outskirts: Sweep the outer edges of the Hexi map after finishing the central and northern mountain clusters.
Verify Map Completion: Open your regional menu and confirm that all 16 investigation icons have transitioned from incomplete to verified status.

Stamina Management: High-altitude investigation points along the Qilian range require sufficient stamina reserves for wall-climbing and prolonged gliding.
Skill Gates: Certain elevated cliff spots may require upgraded movement techniques. If a high marker cannot be reached, return after unlocking higher-tier traversal abilities.
Objective Focus: These markers contribute to regional progression, currency accumulation, and local reputation, but they do not award combat experience. Prioritize them when target-farming map completion rather than character experience levels.
