Region quests are specific quests located in each region of Teyvat, which you can complete to gain City Reputation. These are generally separate from story quests and world quests. 

World Exploration includes traveling around the region and opening chests, finding Anemoculus and Geoculus, and unlocking waypoints. There are a few other things you can do that involve roaming around each region.

Bounties entail hunting down targets in Liyue and Mondtsadt. These are weekly tasks that refresh every Monday. There are three in total each week.

NPCs give Requests in Liyue Harbor and Mondstadt, which you can accept and complete to increase your City Reputation. Similar to bounties, Requests refresh every Monday. There are a total of three Requests per week across the cities.
