Where is the license plate starting with Shan A from?
1 Answers
License plates starting with Shan A do not exist. Basic information about license plates is as follows: 1. The first character of a license plate is a Chinese character: it represents the abbreviation of the province where the vehicle is registered. For example, Sichuan is represented by 'Chuan', Beijing by 'Jing', Chongqing by 'Yu', and Shanghai by 'Hu'. 2. The second character is an English letter: it represents the code for the prefecture-level city where the vehicle is registered. The general rule is that 'A' stands for the provincial capital, 'B' for the second largest city in the province, 'C' for the third largest city, and so on. 3. Yellow license plates are for large vehicles, blue plates for small vehicles, and black plates for foreign-funded enterprises or embassy vehicles. Military license plates follow military numbering rules, which are different from civilian plates, but they all have white backgrounds with red characters. Police vehicle plates follow similar numbering rules as civilian plates, except that the last character is not a number but a red 'Jing' (police) character.
