What is the fastest way to move in Genshin Impact?

Bunny hopping (constant jumping) is actually faster than regular sprinting. Source: this reddit post where author did all necessary testing, direct video link from it.

Height matters

A hidden mechanic not really explained but something you can experience is that taller characters move faster than shorter characters. This is clearly evident when you compare someone like Diluc to someone like Qiqi. Bigger bodies mean the stride length is longer, so each "sprint" moves you further than shorties. Males in general are taller than female counterparts -- this is true especially with the Male/Female Traveler.

Theoretical Fastest Movement Speed

For the theoretical fastest movement speed, we need:

• 2 Ameno users in our party
• 4 party members from Mondstadt
• 1 party member who uses a R5 4★ Catalyst "Wine & Song"
• (Optional) 1 party member with sprint stamina reduction passive

Thus, with a party setup of Sucrose, Venti, Razor/Kaeya, Any other Mondstandt member, we can achieve a 10% + (5% * 4) = 30% movement speed increase.
