What are the letter codes for license plates in Hainan Province?
2 Answers
Hainan Province license plate letter codes include: Qiong A indicates the vehicle is registered in Haikou City, Hainan Province; Qiong B indicates the vehicle is registered in Sanya City, Hainan Province; Qiong C indicates the vehicle is registered in Qionghai City, Hainan Province; Qiong D indicates the vehicle is registered in Wuzhishan City, Hainan Province; Qiong E indicates the vehicle is registered in Yangpu Development Zone, Hainan Province; Qiong F indicates the vehicle is registered in Danzhou City, Hainan Province. License plates consist of Chinese characters, English letters, and a five-digit serial number. Their functions are: 1. To number and register information for each vehicle; 2. To identify the region to which the vehicle belongs; 3. To allow tracing of the vehicle owner and registration information based on the license plate.
Hainan license plates all start with 'Qiong', representing the abbreviation of Hainan. The following letters indicate different cities. For example, Qiong A is Haikou, the provincial capital; Qiong B is Sanya, a tourist hotspot; Qiong C is Sansha, an island area; Qiong D is Danzhou, a developing city; Qiong E and F are used for smaller regions like Wuzhishan or Dongfang City. I remember once while driving, seeing a Qiong B license plate reminded me of the fun of traveling on Sanya's beaches. The license plate design is simple and easy to remember, helping to distinguish the origin of vehicles and avoid confusion. If you need to change to a new license plate, the procedure is convenient and can be done at the local vehicle management office, but be careful not to disclose license plate information easily to avoid privacy risks. With fewer cities in Hainan, the letter allocation is orderly, covering most areas from A to F. This system has remained stable for decades without major changes, and paying attention to it while traveling is quite helpful.
