Where does the Lu F license plate belong to?

[LucilleFitz]

Lu F is the license plate code for Yantai City, Shandong Province. Below is an introduction to the license plate codes representing various regions in Shandong Province: 1. 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. 2. The first two digits of a motor vehicle license plate are the codes for provincial and municipal agencies, consisting of Chinese characters and English letters respectively. The Chinese character is the abbreviation of the province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the central government, and the English letter is the alphabetical code of the prefecture-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered. These are usually ranked by the provincial vehicle management office based on the status of each prefecture-level administrative region. The registration agency code for motor vehicle license plate numbers is located in the center above the plate, with Chinese characters and English letters arranged horizontally. 3. Large civilian vehicles have yellow license plates with black characters; small civilian vehicles have blue license plates with white characters; embassy foreign vehicles have black license plates with white characters and a red "Embassy" character mark; consulate foreign vehicles have black license plates with white characters and a red "Consulate" character mark; other foreign vehicles have black license plates with white characters.

I've been in the transportation business for over a decade and know all about Shandong license plates. Lu F plates are from Yantai, especially common around the Jiaodong Peninsula area. Yantai is a coastal city with many ports, so truck drivers prefer Lu F plates. Last time I hauled apples from Longkou to Jinan, I saw eight out of ten Lu F plates were semi-trailers. All Yantai vehicles start with Lu F, whether they're from Zhifu District, Laiyang City, or even Penglai. If you spot a Lu F plate on a sedan, chances are it's a Yantai local heading to Yangma Island for the weekend. For specific locations, the second letter of the plate can pinpoint districts or counties, but outsiders usually don't remember such details.

I just bought a car last month and specifically researched license plate rules. Lu F represents Yantai City, which is the prefecture-level city code of Shandong Province. Yantai is by the sea, adjacent to Weihai and Qingdao, so Lu F and Lu K plates are often seen mixed on the roads. My friend works in the Yantai Development Zone, and he said Lu F plates are particularly dense there, with company buses and private cars everywhere. I remember from the driving theory test materials that the second letter of the license plate is assigned by city: Lu A is Jinan, Lu B is Qingdao, and Lu F ranks sixth. I plan to drive to Yantai for a trip at the end of the year. When I park my car by the seaside, I’m sure to encounter a bunch of Lu F brother cars.

My family has lived in Yantai for three generations, and the Lu F license plate is like our local ID card. As early as the 1990s, Yantai was already using the Lu F plate, two years earlier than Weihai's Lu K. Walking along Nanda Street, six out of ten cars start with Lu F. If you go near the docks, you'll see long lines of Lu F-plated seafood transport trucks. Now, all five districts of Yantai uniformly use Lu F, and even the newly opened toll system on the expressway from the Development Zone to Penglai prioritizes recognizing Lu F plates. Here's an interesting fact: although Yantai's new airport is located in Penglai, the airport shuttle buses still bear Lu F plates, as the entire Yantai area falls under this license plate's jurisdiction.
