ZheG is the license plate for Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province. ZheA represents Hangzhou, ZheB represents Ningbo, ZheC represents Wenzhou, ZheD represents Shaoxing, ZheE represents Huzhou, ZheF represents Jiaxing, ZheG represents Jinhua, ZheH represents Quzhou, ZheJ represents Taizhou, ZheK represents Lishui, and ZheL represents Zhoushan. Below is an introduction about license plates: 1. The first Chinese character on a license plate is the abbreviation of the province or municipality directly under the central government, and the letter following the first character represents the city or district. 2. A license plate is a permit for a vehicle to legally drive on the road. 3. There are two types of vehicle license plates: one is a temporary license plate; the other is a formal license plate. 4. Temporary license plates need to be affixed to the front and rear windshields according to regulations; formal license plates need to be fixed to the front and rear of the vehicle body according to regulations.
Last time I researched license plate codes, 'Zhe G' is definitely a license plate from the Jinhua area of Zhejiang Province. The first character on Chinese license plates represents the province, so 'Zhe' can only stand for Zhejiang. The second letter further subdivides the region, and 'G' in the Zhejiang sequence is specifically assigned to Jinhua. Hangzhou uses 'Zhe A', Wenzhou 'Zhe C', and so on in order. Some outsiders might mistake 'Zhe G' for a Jiangsu plate, but actually, Jiangsu's abbreviation is 'Su', and its letter allocation rules are completely different. Nowadays, new energy license plates also feature the province abbreviation combined with the regional letter, so seeing a green 'Zhe G' plate similarly indicates Jinhua registration. If you spot a car with a 'Zhe G' plate and a Jinhua crispy cake packaging box hanging inside, don't be surprised!
Zhe G, it's definitely the exclusive license plate for Jinhua area. I often pay special attention to this when driving long distances, and I've memorized all the license plate letters for different regions in Zhejiang: A for Hangzhou, B for Ningbo, D for Shaoxing, E for Huzhou, F for Jiaxing, G for Jinhua, H for Quzhou, J for Taizhou, K for Lishui, and L for Zhoushan. As a central hub in Zhejiang, Jinhua is home to both Yiwu Small Commodities Market and Hengdian Film Studio, so you see a lot of Zhe G license plates on the road. I remember last year at a service area on the Hang-Jin-Qu Expressway, over 30% of the cars had Zhe G plates. Some people might confuse Zhe G with Yue G, but Yue G in Guangdong is for Zhanjiang, which is in a completely different direction.
This is the license plate code for Jinhua. All license plates in Zhejiang start with the character 'Zhe', with the second letter indicating the specific city. In the alphabet, the letter G is the seventh, corresponding to the seventh position in Zhejiang's administrative division list, which is Jinhua. The entire license plate code system is actually quite regular.
