The abbreviation for Fujian license plates is Min. Min A refers to Fuzhou City, Min B refers to Putian City, Min C refers to Quanzhou City, Min D refers to Xiamen City, Min E refers to Zhangzhou City, Min F refers to Longyan City, Min G refers to Sanming City, Min H refers to Nanping City, Min J refers to Ningde City, and Min K refers to the provincial system. Here is an introduction to license plates: 1. The license plate number used for cars consists of five characters. The Chinese character at the front of the plate is the abbreviation of the province, and the following letters represent the prefecture-level city. In car license plates, Arabic numerals range from 0 to 9 (a total of ten digits), and English letters range from A to Z (a total of 26 letters). It is worth mentioning that the letters I and O are generally avoided in license plates to prevent confusion with the numbers 1 and 0. 2. The capital cities of each province use the letter A for their license plates, and the subsequent letters are not ranked in any particular order.

I remember when I first went on a self-drive trip to Fujian, I specifically looked up the local license plates. The abbreviation for Fujian license plates is 'Min', which comes from the Min River. On the road, I saw that Min A is for Fuzhou City, Min B for Putian, and the letters are basically arranged in the order of when the cities were established. Once at a highway service station in Quanzhou, I saw a with a Min D license plate and only then realized that Xiamen uses the letter D. A friend from Fujian told me that Min J represents Nanping, and Min K is for Ningde. When the letters run out, they start using double-letter combinations like Min G. Nowadays, new energy vehicle license plates all start with a gradient green 'Min', making them particularly eye-catching. It's a local habit to avoid the number 4 when choosing a license plate, something the car rental company reminded me of last time.

My uncle has been driving trucks in Fujian for twenty years, and he taught me how to recognize Fujian license plates. The character 'Min' on the plate is the abbreviation for Fujian, with different letters representing different cities. Fuzhou uses Min A, Min B is Putian, and the C series is assigned to Sanming. The most special one is Xiamen, which uses Min D, reportedly due to its special economic zone status. I remember once seeing a Min H plate in Wuyishan and had to look it up on my to find out it belonged to a county under Nanping. With more new energy vehicles now, the green plates also start with 'Min' followed by letters indicating the region. When choosing plate numbers, people in Fujian prefer ones with the number 8, but all law enforcement vehicles on the highways have Min O plates with the character 'Police'.

Fujian license plates consist of the character 'Min' followed by a letter. For example, Min A is Fuzhou, Min B is Putian, Min C is Sanming, Min D is Xiamen, Min E is Quanzhou, Min F is Zhangzhou, Min G is Nanping, Min H is Ningde, and Min J is Pingtan. New energy vehicles have green license plates, formatted like Min AD12345, which includes the letter D.

Last week, I accompanied a friend to the Fuzhou Vehicle Office for license plate registration. The staff mentioned that all license plates in Fujian contain the character 'Min.' The letter 'Min A' is exclusively reserved for the provincial capital, while Xiamen, as a special economic zone, uses 'Min D.' Surprisingly, the Pingtan Experimental Zone independently uses the 'Min J' prefix. Nowadays, car rental companies often remind tourists: vehicles with 'Min' plates enjoy parking discounts at scenic spots in Ningde, while those with 'Min D' plates require advance reservations for Gulangyu Island. During the number selection process, the system automatically filters out combinations containing the number 4, but custom numbers like birthdays can be manually entered. In the early years when smuggled vehicles were rampant, Fujian license plates were subject to particularly strict supervision.

I've studied the abbreviations on provincial license plates, and Fujian's use of the character 'Min' is particularly interesting. This abbreviation comes from the ancient Minyue Kingdom, and even the local dialect is called Min language. Fuzhou, as the provincial capital, uses Min A, while Min B is assigned to Putian, with the letters ordered according to the cities' status. In the 1990s, when Xiamen was established as a Special Economic Zone, it directly skipped C and took Min D. Nowadays, the license plates for counties and districts are also quite fascinating. For example, Min K is for Ningde, and the Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Zone exclusively uses Min J. On highways, spotting Min O indicates a police vehicle, while civilian new energy vehicles feature a green background with the 'Min' character and distinguishing letters D/F for electric vehicles. The license plate design even incorporates the outline of Wuyi Mountain as an anti-counterfeiting mark.
