Hong Kong and Macau license plates are abbreviated as Yue Z in mainland China, also known as Guangdong-Hong Kong cross-border license plates. Guangdong-Hong Kong cross-border license plates refer to license plates that allow free travel between Hong Kong and mainland China after being issued, and are divided into FV license plates and Yue Z license plates. The following are the application requirements for Guangdong-Hong Kong cross-border license plates: 1. The first category is for vehicles entering mainland China from Hong Kong via the bridge and obtaining mainland license plate quotas: For overseas investment enterprises (individuals) investing in our province, regardless of the investment amount, enterprises in the province that have accumulated a tax payment of more than 100,000 RMB within 3 years (including the year of application) can apply for 1 commercial vehicle quota for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Port; those with a tax payment of more than 500,000 RMB can apply for a second vehicle; those with more than 1 million RMB can apply for a third vehicle. 2. The second category is for vehicles entering Hong Kong from mainland China via the bridge and obtaining Hong Kong license plate quotas: State-owned enterprises, collective enterprises, and private enterprises approved in our province that have accumulated a tax payment of more than 1 million RMB within 3 years (including the year of application).

In Hong Kong, we usually refer to license plate numbers simply as license plates, meaning the identity tags of vehicles. As an ordinary driver who has been driving for several years, I find Hong Kong license plates very practical. They always feature a white background with black characters, designed to be simple and clear, making it easy to recognize your own car at a glance while driving. To apply for a new license plate, you need to fill out forms and pay a fee at the Transport Department, costing around one to two thousand Hong Kong dollars. You can even choose a lucky number like 888, which symbolizes making a fortune, which is quite fun. In fact, license plates are not just about numbers; they affect parking management and traffic tickets. If you forget to note it down, finding your car can be a big hassle. Overall, the Hong Kong license plate system is efficient and straightforward, without much fuss.

In Hong Kong, the license plate is simply referred to as a 'number plate.' This straightforward abbreviation reflects the core function of vehicle registration. As someone who loves automotive details, I know that Hong Kong license plates consist of numbers and letters in a fixed format—one or two letters followed by digits—to ensure they don’t exceed the length limit. The application process is hassle-free, done online or in person, and personalized plates can fetch sky-high prices at auctions. The reflective material of the plates enhances visibility and safety. With heavy traffic in Hong Kong, license plates are essential identifiers for drivers. I often remind beginners to memorize their plate numbers in case of loss or accidents—this small item plays a big role in daily car use.

During my trip, I learned that license plates in Hong Kong are commonly referred to as 'number plates' by locals. The streets of Hong Kong are lined with license plates featuring a uniform white background with black characters, which contrasts with the green and yellow plates on the mainland, giving off a neat and tidy impression. I recall when renting a car, the owner emphasized the importance of remembering the license plate number for easy vehicle identification, especially for those coveted numbers like '666,' symbolizing smoothness, which car owners eagerly pursue. Though a small detail, license plates are integral to traffic culture, as Hong Kongers use them to quickly identify vehicles.
