Where is the license plate code Ji A from?
2 Answers
Ji A is the license plate code for Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. Ji is the abbreviation for Hebei Province, so all vehicle license plates in Hebei start with Ji, with codes ranging from Ji A to Ji T. The license plate codes for other cities in Hebei Province are as follows: Ji B is Tangshan City, Ji C is Qinhuangdao City, Ji D is Handan City, Ji E is Xingtai City, Ji F is Baoding City, Ji G is Zhangjiakou City, Ji H is Chengde City, Ji J is Cangzhou City, Ji R is Langfang City, and Ji T is Hengshui City. A license plate number is a legal mark registered by statutory authorities, permitting a motor vehicle to drive on the road, and serves as an identification number for the vehicle, usually displayed at specific locations on the vehicle.
I've been driving for many years and am very familiar with license plate codes. Ji A represents the license plate of Shijiazhuang City in Hebei Province. In China, license plates are divided into two parts: the first Chinese character is the abbreviation of the province, like Ji for Hebei; the following letter is the city code, with A representing the provincial capital Shijiazhuang. Other cities in Hebei Province include B for Tangshan and C for Qinhuangdao. The license plate system aids in traffic management, allowing police to quickly identify the origin of vehicles, and also helps ordinary people guess where vehicles are from when traveling. For example, when I see Yue A on the road, I know it's a vehicle from Guangzhou. Ji A plates are common because Shijiazhuang is a transportation hub and an economic powerhouse. Remembering these codes is useful for driving tests or travel. The allocation rules for license plates are simple: the provincial capital usually gets A, and other cities follow in alphabetical order.
