What place does Lu F represent for vehicle registration?

[StBrayden]

Lu F is the license plate code for Yantai, Shandong Province. Below is a detailed introduction to the specific license plate letters of Shandong Province: Shandong Province (Lu) Lu A Jinan, Lu B Qingdao, Lu C Zibo, Lu D Zaozhuang, Lu E Dongying, Lu F Yantai, Lu G Weifang, Lu H Jining, Lu J Tai'an, Lu K Weihai, Lu L Rizhao, Lu M Binzhou, Lu N Dezhou, Lu P Liaocheng, Lu Q Linyi, Lu R Heze, Lu S Laiwu, Lu U Qingdao supplementary, Lu V Weifang supplementary, Lu W Provincial government agencies, Lu Y Yantai supplementary. Below is a specific introduction to Yantai, Shandong: 1. Yantai is one of the central cities of the Shandong Peninsula and an important port city in the Bohai Rim region. 2. Yantai is a key node city in the Bohai Rim Economic Circle, a backbone city of the Shandong Peninsula Blue Economic Zone, one of China's first 14 coastal open cities, and a coastal city in China. 3. It is the only International Grape and Wine City in Asia, a key port city under the national "Belt and Road" strategy, a national historical and cultural city, a national civilized city, and together with Weihai, it is known as China's famous "Snow Nest".

Speaking of Lu F, I know it all too well! Among us veteran drivers, Lu F is the emblem of Yantai. I remember over a decade ago when I was doing long-haul trips, spotting a Lu F plate on the car ahead meant we were nearing the Bohai Bay. Yantai is located on the eastern coast of Shandong, and the Lu F license plate series ranges from Lu FA to Lu FP. Over the years, Yantai has developed rapidly, with a surge in vehicles, leading to the addition of the Lu Y series later on. But Lu F remains the symbol of old Yantai. On the highways, if you see a Lu F plate on a big truck, it's most likely hauling seafood—easy to spot. Next time you see that blue plate, it's definitely a fellow Yantai local, maybe even carrying fresh big cherries!

Oh, came across a question about the Lu F license plate? What a coincidence! I just watched a live stream from the Shandong Vehicle Administration Office a couple of days ago explaining this. The Lu F plate is exclusive to Yantai City and is one of the most recognizable license plates in Shandong. Let me break it down for you: the license plates in Shandong are arranged alphabetically—Jinan gets Lu A, Qingdao Lu B, Zibo Lu C... and so on. Lu F corresponds to Yantai, located in the eastern part of Shandong. Here’s a fun fact: after 2008, Yantai started issuing Lu Y plates as well, but Lu F remains the dominant one. If you see a Yantai friend’s car with a Lu F plate, chances are they’re a long-time local resident; those with Lu Y plates might have bought their cars more recently. Nowadays, you’ll see both types of plates mixed on the streets of Yantai—super easy to spot!

This question is straightforward: Lu F is the license plate code for Yantai City, Shandong Province. Shandong license plates are numbered in order by city: Jinan has Lu A, Qingdao Lu B, Zibo Lu C, Zaozhuang Lu D, Dongying Lu E, and Yantai comes next with Lu F. Currently, Yantai urban areas mainly use Lu F and the newly added Lu Y plates, while some special number ranges are allocated to its subordinate districts and counties. When you see a car with a Lu F plate, you can almost certainly confirm it's registered in Yantai. Those in the know can glance at the plate and even make a pretty accurate guess about when the owner registered it.

The designation of Lu F for Yantai can be understood in the context of Shandong's license plate evolution. In the 1990s when license plates were uniformly issued across the province, Yantai, as a major port city, was allocated the letter F. Interestingly, with the surge in vehicles, Yantai introduced Lu Y as a supplementary series in 2008—similar to Qingdao's use of Lu U. However, Lu F's dominant status remains unchanged; out of ten Yantai vehicles on the road, at least six or seven still bear Lu F plates. Speaking of vehicles in Yantai, not only are there many family cars, but the streets are also filled with refrigerated logistics trucks mostly sporting Lu F plates, transporting seafood—thanks to its proximity to the Bohai Bay. Nowadays, if you visit Yantai's development zone, you can still spot new GM Dongyue test vehicles with Lu F trial plates.
