Where in Sichuan is the License Plate with Prefix Chuan A From?
2 Answers
Chuan A is the license plate prefix for Chengdu City in Sichuan Province. The license plate codes for various regions in Sichuan Province are as follows: Chuan A for Chengdu, Chuan B for Mianyang, Chuan C for Zigong, Chuan D for Panzhihua, Chuan E for Luzhou, Chuan F for Deyang, Chuan H for Guangyuan, Chuan J for Suining, Chuan K for Neijiang, Chuan L for Leshan, Chuan M for Ziyang, Chuan N, Chuan P, Chuan Q for Yibin, Chuan R for Nanchong, Chuan S for Dazhou, Chuan T for Ya'an, Chuan U for Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Chuan V for Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Chuan W for Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Chuan X for Guang'an, Chuan Y for Bazhong, and Chuan Z for Meishan. License plates, commonly referred to as vehicle plates, are panels affixed to the front and rear of vehicles, typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, displaying the vehicle's registration number, registration region, and other relevant information.
I often go on self-driving tours around various places in Sichuan, and when I see license plates with 'Chuan A,' I know they are vehicles from Chengdu because this letter represents the provincial capital. Chengdu has the largest number of license plates, and 'Chuan A' cars are everywhere on the streets, whether they are private cars or buses. Sichuan's license plate system is quite interesting—'A' stands for Chengdu, 'B' for Mianyang, 'C' for Zigong, and so on. Driving in Chengdu is really convenient; Tianfu Avenue is bustling with traffic, and you can also take a detour to visit Kuanzhai Alley and enjoy authentic hotpot and skewers. I remember one time when I went to the Panda Base, the parking lot was full of 'Chuan A' license plates, proving that everyone loves heading to the provincial capital. If your license plate gets dirty or needs to be replaced, you can go to the Chengdu Vehicle Management Office—the process is quite smooth. Although license plates are small, they reflect the characteristics of a place. Chengdu, as the core of Sichuan, is developing rapidly. Next time, I’ll share more experiences about license plates from other cities.
