Where is the license plate 'Lu C' from?

Lu C is the license plate of Zibo. The first character of a 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 directly under the central government, 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). Relevant information about license plates is as follows: 1. License plates are plates hung on the front and rear of the vehicle, usually made of aluminum, iron, plastic, or paper, engraved with the vehicle's registration number, registration area, or other related information. 2. The license plate number can be designed by oneself; except for the first two characters, which must comply with national regulations, the rest can be freely chosen.
Having driven in China for many years, I'm quite familiar with the license plate rules. The plate starting with 'Lu C' indicates the vehicle is from Zibo City, Shandong Province. The Chinese character '鲁' (Lu) represents Shandong Province, and the following letter 'C' corresponds specifically to Zibo. Shandong's license plate system begins with '鲁A' for the provincial capital Jinan, '鲁B' for Qingdao, and '鲁C' is assigned to Zibo. Zibo is an important industrial city in central Shandong, known for its ceramic industry base and rich historical sites. When driving long distances, remembering license plate codes helps quickly identify a vehicle's origin, making communication at highway service areas more convenient. Zibo enjoys good transportation links with multiple major routes. Familiarity with these registration details also aids in verifying vehicle backgrounds during accident handling or used car transactions. I recommend new drivers learn these basic rules.
