The Pearl Galley is a luxurious ship located close to Liyue Harbor, which is for the exclusive enjoyment of its specially-invited guests. Its proprier is Rouran.
The advertisement on the Feiyun Slope Bulletin Board and the Connoisseur Catalog on the ship indicate that the Pearl Galley is actually a floating gentleman's club, and also functions as a brothel and casino. While such industries are technically not allowed in Liyue itself, the Liyue Qixing turn a blind eye to the Pearl Galley which floats offshore.
Reaching the Pearl Galley for the first time triggers the World Quest The Ocean Pearl, the completion of which will allow the player to return to the ship by talking with Pinghai. It is also visited during Shadow of Yore in Zhongli's Story Quest, Historia Antiqua Chapter: Act I - Sal Flore.
