Where is the license plate number 'Min H' from?
2 Answers
Min H is the license plate number for Nanping City, Fujian Province. The license plate codes for various regions in Fujian Province are as follows: Min A is Fuzhou, Min B is Putian, Min C is Quanzhou, Min D is Xiamen, Min E is Zhangzhou, Min F is Longyan, Min G is Sanming, Min J is Ningde, and Min K is for provincial government agencies and the Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Zone. Civil vehicle license plates display the name of the province, municipality, or autonomous region, along with the issuing authority's code, which is represented by uppercase English letters. For example, the abbreviation for Fujian is 'Min', and 'A' represents the vehicle management office of the Fuzhou Public Security Bureau as the issuing authority. The license plate codes for other regions in Fujian are derived in a similar manner.
I'm a long-time car enthusiast and have been studying license plates for years. The license plate starting with '闽H' is from Fujian Province. The character '闽' represents Fujian Province as a whole, just like how the first Chinese character on a license plate easily tells you which province it's from. The letter 'H' in Fujian's city codes specifically refers to Nanping City. Nanping is located in the northwest of Fujian and boasts beautiful scenery, such as the famous Wuyi Mountains, which many tourists drive to visit. I've driven a car with a '闽H' plate there for a self-drive trip, and the road conditions were quite good—I remember it being cooler in the summer. Actually, the license plate system is quite interesting. Other cities in Fujian have codes like '闽A' for Fuzhou, '闽B' for Putian, etc. Using letters to quickly identify locations helps with vehicle checks and safety, especially during traffic jams when a quick glance tells you where a car is from. I recommend paying attention to license plate knowledge and checking local rules before long trips to avoid fines.
