We wanted to find something that fit Genshin Impact as close as possible, so we ultimately went to the National Cathedral. Originally, we were going to visit the Buddhist statues in the alley by the Apple Store but traffic was bad and the cosplayer’s shoes were not made for walking distances. We started out at Blagden Alley for simple mural pics and the alley next to it used to host horse stables. The architecture there is mostly original so we felt it would work well, especially the bars, window and door shapes, plants, vines, and alleys themselves. We then cut across town NW to the National Cathedral but ended up having to move quickly as there was a service beginning so there were people everywhere. We stayed on the opposite side of the building, which luckily was the Bishop’s Garden.
