What is the license plate prefix for Heyuan?

[OJuliana]

Heyuan's license plate prefix is Yue P. A license plate refers to the vehicle number plate, which is a plate made of aluminum, iron, plastic, or paper, respectively hung at the front and rear of the car, engraved with the vehicle's registration number, registration area, or other relevant information. The first character of the license plate is a Chinese character representing the abbreviation of the province where the vehicle is registered, the second is an English letter representing the prefecture-level city code of the vehicle's location, followed by a five-digit serial number. The vehicle license plate is the abbreviation for the vehicle number plate and the vehicle driving license, which is a hard number plate with a unified format and style as stipulated by national vehicle management regulations. It is issued by the vehicle management authority after reviewing, inspecting, and registering the vehicle that has applied for the license plate, bearing the registration code.

Last time I drove to Heyuan for a trip, I paid special attention to the local license plates. Heyuan uses plates starting with Yue P. The license plate allocation among cities in Guangdong is quite interesting. For example, Guangzhou has Yue A, Shenzhen has Yue B, Zhuhai has Yue C, while Heyuan, established as a prefecture-level city only in 1988, is assigned the letter P in the license plate sequence. Yue P plates are not just for private cars; even Heyuan's buses and taxis bear this identifier. The mountainous scenery here is particularly beautiful, and during weekend road trips, spotting Yue P plates all over the streets instantly helps recognize local vehicles. By the way, here's a fun fact: some new energy license plates in Guangdong now feature a green background with black characters, but the letter remains Yue P.

My cousin who works in Guangzhou is from Heyuan, and the blue license plate on his car clearly shows the prefix 'Yue P'. In Guangdong Province, the license plate letters for its 21 prefecture-level cities are basically assigned according to the time of their establishment. Heyuan was established relatively late, hence it was allocated the letter P. Actually, apart from sedans, most of the long-distance trucks in Heyuan also bear the 'Yue P' plates. Once at a service area, I saw over a dozen 'Yue P' heavy-duty trucks lined up in a row, which was quite a spectacular sight. If you travel to Wanlv Lake, you'll notice that seven or eight out of ten cars in the parking lot have this license plate, as locals naturally register their vehicles locally. These regional identifiers are particularly easy to recognize, just like spotting a 'Yue A' plate and knowing it's a Guangzhou car.

Heyuan's license plate prefix is Guangdong-P. In Guangdong Province's license plate system, 'Yue' represents Guangdong, and the following letter corresponds to the city. Heyuan being assigned 'P' is as fixed as Shenzhen getting 'B'. I have a friend in Heyuan who deals in used cars, and all the vehicles he handles come with Guangdong-P plates. By the way, if you rent a car in Heyuan, you'll also get this type of plate. Even for new energy vehicles, although the base color is different, the letter remains Guangdong-P. This code has been in use since the 1990s without any changes, and locals are quite accustomed to it.
