Liao J is the license plate of Fuxin City, Liaoning Province. The license plate codes for various cities in Liaoning Province are as follows: Liao A is Shenyang City, Liao B is Dalian City, Liao C is Anshan City, Liao D is Fushun City, Liao E is Benxi City, Liao F is Dandong City, Liao G is Jinzhou City, Liao H is Yingkou City, Liao J is Fuxin City, Liao K is Liaoyang City, Liao L is Panjin City, Liao M is Tieling City, Liao N is Chaoyang City, Liao P is Huludao City. The first character of the license plate is a Chinese character representing the provincial-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, which is the abbreviation of the province, municipality, or autonomous region; the second character is an English letter representing the prefecture-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, which is the letter code for the prefecture-level city, region, autonomous prefecture, or league, generally ranked according to the status of the prefecture-level administrative regions by the provincial vehicle management office.
I remember that the license plate starting with Liao J comes from which city in Liaoning Province. I recently saw many cars with Liao J plates during my road trip, and out of curiosity, I looked it up. It turns out that 'Liao' is the abbreviation for Liaoning Province, and the 'J' represents Tieling City, a well-known city in the northern part of Liaoning. I visited Tieling once before, and what left a deep impression on me was the strong culture of comedy sketches there, as Zhao Benshan is from Tieling. The locals are very friendly, and the scenery is beautiful—places like Lotus Lake Park are definitely worth a visit. The arrangement of license plates has a historical background, with each city assigned a specific letter code for easier traffic management. When driving around the northeastern region, spotting a Liao J plate lets you guess that the owner might be from Tieling. After learning this little fact, I find it much more interesting to observe license plates on the road, and it even gives me something to chat about with friends regarding regional characteristics. However, sometimes license plate numbers can be confusing, so it's best to double-check to avoid mistakes.
