What are the license plate letter codes for cities in Jiangsu Province?
2 Answers
Jiangsu Province's city license plate letter codes are: Su A Nanjing, Su B Wuxi, Su C Xuzhou, Su D Changzhou, Su E Suzhou, Su F Nantong, Su G Lianyungang, Su H Huaiyin, Su J Yancheng, Su K Yangzhou, Su L Zhenjiang, Su M Taizhou, Su N Suqian. The first character of a license plate is a Chinese character representing the abbreviated name of the province where the vehicle is registered, and the second character is an English letter representing the prefecture-level city code where the vehicle is located. Jiangsu is a provincial-level administrative region of the People's Republic of China, with Nanjing as its capital. It borders Shandong to the north, the Yellow Sea to the east, Zhejiang and Shanghai to the southeast, and Anhui to the west. Jiangsu spans across rivers and seas, with numerous lakes, flat terrain, and a landscape composed of plains, water bodies, and low hills, spanning the Yangtze River and Huai River basins.
I've lived in Jiangsu for many years, and I often see license plates while commuting by car. The letters represent different cities: Nanjing is A, Wuxi is B, Xuzhou C, Changzhou D, Suzhou E, Nantong F, Lianyungang G, Huaian H, Yancheng J, Yangzhou K, Zhenjiang L, Taizhou M, and Suqian N. This system is quite logical, basically arranged in the order of the cities' establishment, with Nanjing as the provincial capital, so it starts with A. On the road, you can often guess where a car is from by its license plate, like Suzhou E being close to Shanghai and frequently seen on highways. Interestingly, why aren't I and O used? Because they can be confused with the numbers 1 and 0, avoiding misreading. Yancheng uses J as a substitute, which isn't perfect but practical. License plates also remind us to pay attention to regional traffic rule changes. For example, I often check navigation along with license plate recognition for safety while driving, and I recommend that beginners renting cars pay more attention. Overall, this system makes life more convenient and isn't hard to remember.
