Where is Lu A from?

[Myron]

Lu A is the license plate of Jinan City, Shandong Province. Here is some related information about license plates: 1. A license plate is a number assigned to each vehicle. The Chinese character at the front of the plate refers to the province, and the letter represents the prefecture-level city. Each province uses different letters for its prefecture-level cities. 2. Due to different types of vehicles, the colors of the license plates vary. Small vehicles use blue plates, large and medium-sized vehicles use yellow plates, white plates indicate military vehicles, police cars also use white plates, and black plates indicate foreign vehicles.

I've studied China's license plate system myself. The prefix 'Lu A' represents Jinan City in Shandong Province, where 'Lu' is the abbreviation for Shandong, and 'A' is the code for the provincial capital. As the capital of Shandong, Jinan naturally deserves the letter 'A'. Seeing 'Lu A' on a car indicates that the vehicle is from or registered in Jinan. I find this kind of knowledge very practical, such as quickly identifying the origin of a vehicle during business trips or travel. Other provinces follow a similar pattern, like 'Hu A' representing Shanghai. Nowadays, it's also very convenient to look up these codes on the vehicle management office's official website or app. Jinan's city features, such as its abundance of springs, make driving to Daming Lake for a visit quite enjoyable. Additionally, it's advisable to always ensure your license plate is in good condition to avoid any misidentification issues.

I'm a native of Shandong and often see license plates starting with Lu A on the streets, which represent Jinan City. Here, the first character 'Lu' refers to Shandong, and the second letter 'A' is exclusively assigned to Jinan, while other cities use different letters, such as Lu B for Qingdao. I lived in Jinan for several years, where traffic is busy, and there are many Lu A vehicles. Sometimes, I even run into acquaintances driving such cars at the supermarket. Memorizing license plate codes can add fun to social interactions—mentioning Lu A in a chat immediately brings Jinan to mind. If you're interested, you can check a map app by entering the license plate prefix to locate the general area. Jinan's attractions, like Baotu Spring, are worth visiting, and driving there is convenient.
