Summer Night Memories: A Nostalgic Guide to Yoimiya's Classic Web Event in Genshin Impact

It’s 2026, and I’m still not over how fast time flies in Teyvat. Just the other day I was scrolling through my old Kamera photos—yes, the ones I actually saved from in-game events—and stumbled upon a memory that hit me right in the feels: the Summer Night Memories web event from way back in 2021. Yoimiya had just burst onto the scene with her fireworks and infectious laugh, and miHoYo treated us to a tiny digital festival that, believe it or not, gave us a sweet 40 Primogems. Simple times, right? With Yoimiya’s rerun banners still popping up now and then (she’s still a top-tier pyro queen, don’t @ me), I figured I’d revisit this relic and guide anyone who missed it—or wants a nostalgia trip. So grab some dango milk, and let me walk you through one of the cutest clicker events we ever got.

The event was a classic miHoYo web treat: no combat, no resin, just pure click-and-share bliss. You, the Traveler, joined Yoimiya at an Inazuman summer festival. Three picture-perfect moments were waiting to be captured with your trusty Kamera. Each snap unlocked Primogems, and if you collected all three, you walked away with a neat 40 Freemogems. Back then, that felt like a fortune when you were saving for the Raiden Shogun or Kokomi (who, by the way, had just been announced for Version 2.1—man, that hype was real).

🌟 How to Clear It (2021 Edition, but Still Fun to Relive)

First things first: choose the right server. I can’t stress this enough—even today, whenever a web event drops, double-check you’re logging into the account you actually play on. I’ve had friends accidentally send Primogems to a dead alt account, and the regret? Immeasurable. After selecting your server, the page loaded a charming festival scene. You saw Yoimiya, some lanterns, and three clickable spots that represented photo opportunities.

1. Click each location – The UI was simple. A glowing prompt appeared at different spots on the screen. You just tapped, and the Traveler moved there. No complex puzzles, no timers.

2. Take the photo – Once in place, you clicked the Kamera icon. A cute snapshot appeared, usually with Yoimiya striking a pose or the night sky lighting up with fireworks.

3. Share to claim rewards – Here’s the cheeky part: you had to tap the share button (Twitter, Facebook, whatever) to get the Primogems. But guess what? You never actually had to post anything. As long as you opened the share dialog, the event counted it as done. I must’ve “shared” a hundred web event photos without a single soul seeing them. Efficiency, baby!

After the first snap, though, you hit a tiny snag: you “ran out of film.” Classic miHoYo—keep us clicking. To get more film, you had to complete trivial tasks, like visiting the official Genshin Impact YouTube channel or the HoYoLAB community page. Again, just clicking the links counted; you didn’t need to watch a full video or write a dissertation. These tasks were the same ones we saw in every web event back then: connect socials, boost engagement metrics, and hand over those sweet Primogems. Once you topped up your fictional film stock, you moved to the next location, snapped photo two, repeated the share dance, and groaned through another mini-task for the final film refill.

📸 The Three Photos and the Feels

The three pictures weren’t just random screencaps. They told a tiny story: the festival’s opening moments, a quiet conversation with Yoimiya under the fireworks, and a group shot that screamed “friendship goals.” I remember feeling a pang of warmth seeing them—this was during the early Inazuma days when the region still felt fresh and full of secrets. Yoimiya, as the cheerful pyrotechnician, was the perfect guide. Even now, looking at those images, I’m reminded why she’s so beloved. She’s basically the human version of a summer sparkler: bright, fleeting, and makes you smile.

Photo Number	Reward (Primogems)	Task Requirements
1st	10	Click location, take picture, share
2nd	10	Complete a social task (e.g., visit YouTube channel)
3rd	20	Complete another social task, then share

Notice the sneaky bump? The third photo gave double Primogems, probably because they knew our patience was wearing thin. But honestly, the whole thing took about five minutes. Five minutes for 40 Primogems? Back then, I’d have run a marathon in-game for that.

Looking Back from 2026

Now, Genshin has evolved so much. We’ve got Dendro, Fontaine, Natlan’s volcano shenanigans, and a roster size that makes my head spin. Web events have become rarer, replaced by in-game events with richer storylines like summer islands or festival minigames. But the Summer Night Memories event stands out for its simplicity. It was pure marketing genius: tie a web-based minigame to a new character, make us share it, and flood social media with Yoimiya hype. And it worked—I pulled her on her first banner precisely because this event made me adore her.

Players these days might call the event grindy (lol, “grindy” meant two clicks and a tap), but those were innocent times. No artifact RNG, no Abyss spiral resets—just a fireworks girl, a Kamera, and a few free wishes.

Final Fireworks

If you’re a newer Traveler who joined after 2021, I’m sorry you missed this web event. You can’t replay it, but you can still catch Yoimiya in the game and see her legendary fireworks animations. For the old-timers: wasn’t it a blast? Those 40 Primogems might have gone toward a fate that turned into a Qiqi constellation, but the memory is real.

Whenever another summer rolls around in Teyvat, I hope the devs throw in a call-back to these small, heartfelt moments. Until then, keep your glider waxed and your Kamera ready—we never know when the next clickable festival will light up our screens. ✨
