Qinchuan puzzle guide
Unlock the Scarecrow action once, then use the ten illustrated rows below to find the landmark, stand in the right place, and copy the exact facing rule.
Maintained byHeavenskiss
Start in Songshu Bay (松樹灣), switch the season to autumn, and speak with Cui Feng (崔風) to unlock the Scarecrow action. Each puzzle then asks you to fill a gap, face an existing scarecrow, stand on a specific object, or complete a circle.
The action only counts from the correct position. When it works, a hidden view opens, a bird lands on your shoulder, and the reward appears after the bird flies away.
The route begins in Songshu Bay. If Cui Feng does not offer the expected interaction or the action is missing, check the active season before visiting the ten formations.
Find Cui Feng beside the rice field in Songshu Bay and finish the short interaction that unlocks the special Scarecrow action.
At each location, occupy the missing place, copy the facing rule, or stand on the marked object. Playing the animation from nearby is not enough.
Search the English or Chinese place name, or filter by formation type. Open any screenshot for a full-size view and use the arrow keys to move through the images in the current result set.

Pattern guide
The ten puzzles repeat four ideas. Classifying the scene first is faster than trying the action from every angle.
4 recurring patterns
Songshu Bay, Jiezi Lu, Yuxian Pu
Treat your character as the absent scarecrow. Stand where the formation has a body-sized gap, then copy the nearby direction.
Lion Grave, Hua'ao Road, Jinghe Ferry II
The existing scarecrow is the aiming line. Stand opposite it, align across the river, or use the slight-left cue shown in the screenshots.
Guiwang Field, Jinghe Ferry I
The trigger belongs to the object under your feet: the rock behind the house or the wooden plank group.
Banyan Zhai, Huangci
Fill the broken ring. Banyan Zhai faces the nearest scarecrow on the right; Huangci faces outward from the center.
1. The view shifts into the hidden puzzle sequence.
2. A small bird appears on your character's shoulder.
3. Wait for the bird to fly away; the reward notice follows.
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| The Scarecrow action is not in my menu. | Return to Songshu Bay, switch to autumn, speak with Cui Feng, and confirm the unlock interaction before checking any puzzle location. |
| The animation plays, but nothing happens. | Move into the exact empty slot or onto the required rock/plank. These triggers care about both position and facing, not only the selected action. |
| I cannot tell which direction to face. | Use the existing bodies as arrows. Match the row at Songshu Bay, face the lone scarecrow at Lion Grave, face right at Banyan Zhai, and face outward at Huangci. |
| I reached Jinghe Ferry, but the screenshot looks different. | There are two separate Jinghe Ferry puzzles. One uses the wooden planks; the other is behind a house under a tree and needs a slight left turn. |
| The English place name does not match my map. | Use the Chinese label shown beside each row. The English names here are practical search bridges, while localization can vary by client and patch. |
| I saw the bird but no reward notice. | Do not move immediately. Let the hidden sequence finish and wait until the bird leaves your shoulder before checking the reward or completion state. |
Go to Qinchuan Songshu Bay, set the in-game season to autumn, find Cui Feng beside the rice field, and complete his interaction. The special Scarecrow action is then used at all ten formations.
This guide covers ten source locations: Songshu Bay, Jiezi Lu, Lion Grave, Guiwang Field, Hua'ao Road, Yuxian Pu, Banyan Zhai, two separate Jinghe Ferry spots, and Huangci.
The successful action opens a hidden sequence, places a small bird on your shoulder, and shows the reward after the bird flies away.
Yes. The official May 2, 2026 Global developer recap describes the Hexi journey reaching its Qinchuan finale. The source screenshots are from a Chinese client, so some local labels or prompts can still differ.
The Chinese labels let players match the original screenshots and search CN/HMT resources even when a Global map uses a different localization.
No guessed coordinate strings are used. The guide provides the original map crops, landmarks, standing positions, and facing rules, which are more useful than an unverified pin.

Current Global region check: the official recap describes the Hexi journey reaching its finale in Qinchuan.
The screenshots establish the landmark and stance, while the Chinese labels preserve source matching. Exact reward values are deliberately omitted because they are not needed to solve the puzzle and can change by client or patch.
Quick memory
Autumn → Cui Feng → Scarecrow action → exact stance → hidden view → bird leaves → reward.
