This is a list of places given names by Xinese Scholars some are regions others actual locations and cities.

First lets go with some geographical features. Of mountains the Xinese known of 5 they being the Mountains of Wind (Hao-Jiao-Shan), Red Mountains (Hongshan), Yellow Mountains (Huangshan), Black Mountains (Heishan), and the White Mountains (Baishan). The Last Desert is known to the Xinese simple as the  western desert, the Red Desert retains it's name, and the deserts of harad are known as the 'Utter Most Deserts'.

Some basic regions are Beilu (The land abvoe the River Wei), Shuang De (Forodwaith), All of Rhun is known as either Dadong or Zhongguo, All of Harad is known as Da Shamo (Which to the Xinese mind extends to the borders of the jungle), Far Harad (Areas around and in the Jungles) is simply known as Conglin, and finally the west (Defined as anything past the inner sea) is simple Xi

Rivers the Xinese have named only those close to their borders or under their control. The major forests are simply named Beifang (Northern) and  Nanbu (Southern) forests.

Now form some Kingdom names! Bai-tudi (Gondor), Hei'an Tiantang (Umbar), Shi Wangguo (Union), Hei'an Yi (Moredain), Buluo Yi (Tauredain), Hongshui Di (Kumaat), and Hongjiu Tudi (Dorwinion)

Now for some special names (They aren't actually 'regions' per say but areas of importance the Xinese have given a name) The most important being the Coasts. The most important by far would be the Jade Coast (Eastern Coast of Rhun), Slavers Coast (The Eastern Coasts of Harad). Another piece of water is the 'Celestial Lake' which is the gulf of Harad.

Islands are also given names normally relating to what they contain when it comes to trade goods. A example is the Volcanic Islands are known as Huo Dao which means 'Fire Islands'. Each Island also has it's own name but I put down the names of the Chain of Islands.
