Yue W is the license plate number for Yunfu City, Guangdong Province. The license plate numbers for various regions in Guangdong Province are as follows: Yue A Guangzhou, Yue B Shenzhen, Yue C Zhuhai, Yue D Shantou, Yue E Foshan (excluding Shunde and Nanhai districts), Yue F Shaoguan, Yue G Zhanjiang, Yue H Zhaoqing, Yue J Jiangmen, Yue K Maoming, Yue L Huizhou, Yue M Meizhou, Yue N Shanwei, Yue P Heyuan, Yue Q Yangjiang, Yue R Qingyuan, Yue S Dongguan, Yue T Zhongshan, Yue U Chaozhou, Yue V Jieyang, Yue W Yunfu, Yue X Foshan Shunde District, Yue Y Foshan Nanhai District, Yue Z Hong Kong and Macau vehicles entering mainland China. License plates, commonly known as number plates, refer to the plates affixed to the front and rear of a vehicle. They are typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, and bear the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. A license plate number serves as the identification for a vehicle, much like an ID number does for a person.
I often study license plate numbers, and Yue W is the license plate for Yunfu City in Guangdong Province. Don't get it wrong—Yue is the abbreviation for Guangdong, and the letters represent cities within the province: A for Guangzhou, B for Shenzhen, and so on, with W standing for Yunfu. Yunfu is located in western Guangdong and is famous for its stone industry. I've seen many cars with this license plate when I was there on business. Actually, China's entire license plate system is quite interesting: the first character indicates the province, the letter denotes the city, and colors differentiate vehicle types, such as blue plates for private cars and yellow plates for large trucks. Knowing about license plates can be helpful for everyday driving—checking them before a trip can help avoid misunderstandings.
