Meng G is the license plate number of Tongliao City in Inner Mongolia. The license plates of various regions in Inner Mongolia are as follows: Meng A is Hohhot City, Meng B is Baotou City, Meng C is Wuhai City, Meng D is Chifeng City, Meng E is Hulunbuir City, Meng F is Xing'an League, Meng G is Tongliao City, Meng H is Xilingol League, Meng J is Ulanqab City, Meng K is Ordos City, Meng L is Bayannur City, and Meng M is Alxa League. License plates are commonly known as number plates. The first character of a license plate number 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 of the license plate number 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, ranked according to the status of each prefecture-level administrative region. In addition, when assigning English letter codes to prefecture-level administrative regions, O is often used for police cars or government units.
I've been driving for over a decade, traveling on highways across the country, and often see license plates with 'Meng G', which are vehicles from Tongliao City in Inner Mongolia. Tongliao is located in the eastern part of Inner Mongolia, close to Jilin and Liaoning, and is famous for the Horqin Grassland. Those license plates are quite useful for identifying where vehicles come from on the road. Inner Mongolia license plates start with 'Meng', with letters representing different cities, like 'Meng A' for Hohhot and 'Meng F' for Xing'an League. Sometimes during long trips, I encounter 'Meng G' vehicles and, out of curiosity, looked it up to find that Tongliao is primarily agricultural, with many vehicles like pickup trucks. The license plate system helps you understand a vehicle's background, making it convenient in case of accidents or inquiries. Remember, 'Meng G' represents Tongliao—don't get it confused.
