Where in Tianjin is the license plate Jin A from?

Tianjin's license plate numbers are not divided by region. The Jin A license plates are mainly used for buses and public security vehicles. Tianjin has a total of 13 districts and 3 counties, and license plates are issued in chronological order. The specific meanings of the license plate letters are as follows: 1. Starting from Jin A, once the sequence numbers under this letter are exhausted, a new letter is used. In principle, the arrangement goes from Jin A-00000 to Jin A-99999, then from Jin A-A0000 to Jin A-Z9999, and so on. 2. Jin A is for buses and public security vehicles, Jin B, Jin C, and Jin D are for urban area plates, Jin E is for taxis, and Jin F, Jin G, Jin H, Jin J, Jin K, Jin L, Jin M, Jin N, Jin Q, and Jin R are for urban area plates. 3. Currently, there are 15 types of license plates in use in Tianjin, ranging from A to R, divided into 4 categories: buses, public security vehicles, taxis, and urban area plates (Jin B, C, D, F, G are for private or commercial vehicles).
I've been driving a Jin A car for several years. Jin A refers to the license plates in the urban area of Tianjin, specifically the core districts like Heping, Hexi, Hedong, and Nankai. The license plate rules are simple: 'Jin' stands for Tianjin, and the letter 'A' indicates the main urban area, which is a common practice in the national license plate system. The 'A' plates in most cities usually represent the central area. Others, like Jin B, are assigned to distant suburban counties like Jizhou, Jin C is for parts of Binhai New Area, and Jin D to Jin F are newly opened series. Remembering this is quite practical—when you see a Jin A car on the road, it's mostly registered in the city center. Choosing a Jin A plate when buying a car makes daily affairs easier to handle, avoiding the hassle of traveling to distant suburbs. Actually, the division of license plates is for better traffic management—large cities like Tianjin need clear organization.
