When Autumn Remembers Home is a Hexi exploration quest in Where Winds Meet that starts at Camel Station and opens with a conversation with Bai Shisan.
When Autumn Remembers Home quest trigger
The trigger is location-based and NPC-based. You need to arrive at Camel Station through its Boundary Stone, then move southwest until you find Bai Shisan sitting beneath a tree. Speaking to him starts the quest.
If the quest does not begin, the usual problem is that you have not reached the correct NPC, or you stopped near Camel Station without moving far enough southwest.

Exact action to start the quest
Step 1: Fast travel to Camel Station using the Boundary Stone in Hexi. This places you at the correct hub for the quest trigger.
Step 2: From Camel Station, head southwest. Keep moving until you spot Bai Shisan seated under a tree.
Step 3: Interact with Bai Shisan and go through the dialogue. The quest starts as soon as that conversation is recognized by the game.
