Where is the license plate number Yu W from?

Currently, there is no license plate number Yu W. The license plate codes for various regions in Henan Province are: Yu A is Zhengzhou, Yu B is Kaifeng, Yu C is Luoyang, Yu D is Pingdingshan, Yu E is Anyang, Yu F is Hebi, Yu G is Xinxiang, Yu H is Jiaozuo, Yu J is Puyang, Yu K is Xuchang, Yu L is Luohe, Yu M is Sanmenxia, Yu N is Shangqiu, Yu P is Zhoukou, Yu Q is Zhumadian, Yu R is Nanyang, Yu S is Xinyang, Yu U is Jiyuan City. The first character of the license plate is a Chinese character, representing the provincial-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered. The second character is an English letter, representing the prefecture-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, ranked according to the conditions of each prefecture-level administrative region by the provincial vehicle management office.
As a car enthusiast, I'm particularly fascinated by license plates. The 'Yu W' plate definitely belongs to Henan Province. In China's license plate system, the first character represents the province - 'Yu' is the abbreviation for Henan, just like 'Jing' for Beijing and 'Yue' for Guangdong. As for the 'W', it usually indicates a specific city or region within Henan Province, such as Jiyuan City or similar directly-administered areas. The second character in the license plate is the city code - Henan has A for Zhengzhou, B for Kaifeng, all the way to U for Jiyuan, and W might be a newly added code for remote areas. You can guess a vehicle's origin from its license plate. I've seen 'Yu W' cars on the road before, and after chatting with the owners, learned they came from mountainous regions - quite interesting! I recommend drivers learn more about these codes to better judge road conditions when encountering out-of-town plates. For detailed confirmation, just open Baidu Maps or a traffic app and enter the license plate number - this practical and free feature adds some fun to driving.
