Yu K is the license plate code for Xuchang City, Henan Province. The license plate codes for various regions in Henan Province are as follows: Yu A for Zhengzhou, Yu B for Kaifeng, Yu C for Luoyang, Yu D for Pingdingshan, Yu E for Anyang, Yu F for Hebi, Yu G for Xinxiang, Yu H for Jiaozuo, Yu J for Puyang, Yu K for Xuchang, Yu L for Luohe, Yu M for Sanmenxia, Yu N for Shangqiu, Yu P for Zhoukou, Yu Q for Zhumadian, Yu R for Nanyang, Yu S for Xinyang, and Yu U for Jiyuan. Xuchang City is a prefecture-level city in Henan Province, designated by the Henan Provincial Government as a regional central city in the Central Plains Urban Agglomeration. Located in the Central Plains, Xuchang has a long history and is an important birthplace of Chinese culture, as well as one of the core cities of the Central Plains Urban Agglomeration and the Central Plains Economic Zone. The ancient culture of Xuchang includes prehistoric culture series, Han culture series, Three Kingdoms culture series, temple architecture culture series, and Jun porcelain culture series.
As someone who frequently drives long-distance trucks, I've seen all kinds of license plates. YuK definitely belongs to Shangqiu, Henan, because I frequently encounter vehicles with YuK plates on highways, especially when driving long distances in provinces surrounding Henan. Knowing license plate codes is very practical—it not only helps identify where vehicles come from (for example, drivers from Shangqiu might have different driving habits) but also serves as a conversation starter about local specialties, like Henan cuisine, when chatting at rest stops. Paying attention to license plates is a good habit while driving, but always prioritize safety—don’t get distracted by staring at them. I recommend new drivers memorize some basic codes to add a bit of fun to their journeys. Also, a friendly reminder: keeping license plates clean is important. If they're muddy or dirty, police may pull you over for an inspection.
