Hi Michael,

Take a look at THL & the Trace Foundation, I think both have projects
with geocoded place names in Tibetan, Chinese, Simplified Chinese &
Pinyin.

I know the Trace foundation has a lot more available than what's in
the Place Names List, although I don't know how complete it is yet so
if you don't find what you are looking for it would be worth
contacting them (same with THL).

Thanks,
Jeremiah
