Shanxi license plate letters are: Jin A for Taiyuan City, Jin B for Datong City, Jin C for Yangquan City, Jin D for Changzhi City, Jin E for Jincheng City, Jin F for Shuozhou City, Jin H for Xinzhou City, Jin J for Lüliang Prefecture, Jin K for Jinzhong City, Jin L for Linfen City, Jin M for Yuncheng City. License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, refer to the number plates affixed to the front and rear of a vehicle. They are typically made of aluminum, sheet iron, plastic, or paper, and bear the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. The primary purpose of license plates is to identify the vehicle's region of registration and to trace the vehicle's owner and registration details based on the plate number.
I've been driving around Shanxi for business for several years. License plates in Taiyuan start with A, as it's the provincial capital. Datong in the north is B, Yangquan is C, Changzhi D, Jincheng E, Shuozhou F, Xinzhou G, Lüliang H, Jinzhong J, Linfen K, and Yuncheng L. Remembering these codes is quite handy on the road, as it helps quickly identify where a car is from. For example, when on a business trip to Lüliang, seeing an H-plated car tells me there are more local drivers, and their driving style on mountain roads is a bit different. The license plate system avoids using I because it can easily be confused with the number 1, a design followed nationwide. Overall, the alphabetical order of license plates is based on city size and transportation convenience, with the capital leading and others following. This helps me in route planning and reduces the risk of taking wrong turns.
