Check punctuation: we kept the Chinese quotes? We replaced with English quotes? The instruction: keep each translation on a single line. It didn't say to keep Chinese quotes; we should translate the content, but the quotes are part of the text. Should we keep the Chinese quotation marks 「」? Usually we translate them to English quotes. The instruction: "Render EXACTLY what the source says — same meaning, same information, nothing added." The Chinese quotes are part of the source; we should preserve them? In translation, we usually replace with English quotes. The instruction didn't explicitly say to keep the Chinese punctuation; but to preserve meaning, we can convert to English quotes. I think it's fine.

"This is an experience Mei Yi greatly envies. Although she has sailed extensively, she has never had the chance to explore the Neck region right on her doorstep. Rumor has it that its natural environment differs greatly from Westeros, hosting many wondrous species, and for thousands of years it has been deeply influenced by the magic of the Children of the Forest, making it a true fantastical land, a secluded paradise."
