What does the license plate in Jinhua start with?

[DeSilas]

Jinhua's license plates start with Zhe G, as Jinhua belongs to Zhejiang Province, which is abbreviated as Zhe. The sequence of initial letters for license plates in Zhejiang Province ranges from Zhe A to Zhe L, corresponding to: Zhe A for Hangzhou, Zhe B for Ningbo, Zhe C for Wenzhou, Zhe D for Shaoxing, Zhe E for Huzhou, Zhe F for Jiaxing, Zhe G for Jinhua, Zhe H for Quzhou, Zhe J for Taizhou, Zhe K for Lishui, and Zhe L for Zhoushan. The first character of a license plate is a Chinese character representing the provincial-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered. The second character is an English letter representing the prefecture-level administrative region, serving as the letter code for prefecture-level cities, regions, autonomous prefectures, and leagues. The order is generally determined by the provincial vehicle management office based on the status of each prefecture-level administrative region.

Jinhua license plates start with Zhe G, and the arrangement of license plates across Zhejiang Province is quite regular. Hangzhou is Zhe A, Ningbo is Zhe B, Wenzhou is Zhe C, Shaoxing is Zhe D, Huzhou is Zhe E, Jiaxing is Zhe F, and Jinhua comes next as Zhe G. This alphabetical order actually reflects the ranking of cities within the province, and Jinhua being ranked seventh indicates its importance in the province. On the road, you can still often see older blue license plates starting with Zhe G, and in recent years, new energy green plates also start with Zhe G, but they are followed by letters representing hybrid or pure electric vehicles. Some vintage car enthusiasts specifically collect these short plates with four-digit numbers.

I'm from Dongyang, Jinhua, and I'm very familiar with the Zhe G license plates. Both cars in my family start with Zhe G, and I can spot fellow locals from afar when traveling outside. Last year, a friend bought a new energy vehicle, and the green license plate still began with Zhe G, just with an extra letter to distinguish the model. I remember seeing trucks with yellow Zhe G plates when I was a kid, but now most plates on the road follow the blue background with white characters format. If you go to the DMV for a transfer, you might even encounter plates with letters representing different counties and cities in Jinhua—Yiwu plates start with G·A, Yongkang with G·D, which is especially interesting.

Having driven a taxi in Jinhua for over a decade, I know the details of Zhejiang G license plates best. Regular car plates feature yellow characters on a blue background, with 'Zhe G' uniformly printed at the front and five alphanumeric characters at the back. Nowadays, the letters on new license plates are spaced more openly, unlike the old plates where they were crammed together. Heavy-duty trucks use large plates with black characters on a yellow background, while motorcycles have small plates with the same color scheme. Two years ago, when I went to Yiwu to pick up passengers, I noticed many imported cars there had 'Zhe G·A' plates, which locals refer to as the exclusive Yiwu number segment.
