It’s the depository of sacred buddhist texts in “Journey To The West” – so not really sad.

Xin = new, jiang = frontier. I didn’t feel the need to translate “Uyghur Autonomous Region” because it’s already in English.

Since when, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region become frontier? Uyghur means “civilised” in Turkish. They’re living there for 3000 years as we know.

nicely done and interesting! never really thought twice about the meaning of the city/location names before…

I understand that the name comes from the idea that Buddhist scriptures came from Tibet (as in Journey to The West) – so ‘depository’ works as “depository of sacred texts”

Taiwan is Republic of China, mainland is People’s Republic of China. So it’s not worth having an argument about, is it?

Nice job except I have no clue why did you put Taiwan there? Unless you change the title to “China and Taiwan, translated” this inclusion wouldn’t make much sense to people outside the Celestial Kingdom.
