What region does a Guangdong (Yue) license plate belong to?
2 Answers
Guangdong (Yue) license plates belong to vehicles registered in Guangdong Province. The license plate codes for various cities in Guangdong Province are as follows: Yue A for Guangzhou, Yue B for Shenzhen, Yue C for Zhuhai, Yue D for Shantou, Yue E for Foshan, Yue F for Shaoguan, Yue G for Zhanjiang, Yue H for Zhaoqing, Yue J for Jiangmen, Yue L for Huizhou, Yue M for Meizhou, Yue N for Shanwei, Yue P for Heyuan, Yue Q for Yangjiang, Yue R for Qingyuan, Yue S for Dongguan, Yue T for Zhongshan, Yue U for Chaozhou, Yue V for Jieyang, Yue W for Yunfu, Yue Y for Nanhai, and Yue Z for vehicles entering mainland China from Hong Kong and Macau. The function of a license plate is to identify the vehicle's region of registration, and it can also be used to trace the vehicle's owner and registration information.
I've been researching license plate systems for a while. 'Yue' plates refer to vehicles registered in Guangdong Province. The character 'Yue' at the beginning of the plate is the abbreviation for Guangdong, which is determined during vehicle registration. Guangdong Province is economically developed, with cities like Guangzhou and Shenzhen having a large number of vehicles, so you often see plates like Yue A, Yue B, and so on. The design of license plates is intended to make it easy to identify a vehicle's origin, avoid confusion during cross-regional driving, and assist traffic management in tracking vehicles with violations. As a car enthusiast, I find it quite interesting to learn about these license plate details. Paying attention to the abbreviations of different provinces while driving can enrich the driving experience. I recommend other car owners to also memorize common plate codes. Guangdong plates are common in southern China. If you travel to the north and see a Yue plate, you'll know it's a 'guest' from the south.
