Where is the license plate with 'Liao F' from?

Liao F is the license plate for Dandong City. Here is an introduction to license plate numbers: 1. The first character of a license plate is a Chinese character: It represents the provincial-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, which is the abbreviation of the (province, municipality directly under the central government, or autonomous region). 2. The second character is an English letter: It represents the prefecture-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, which is the letter code for each (prefecture-level city, region, autonomous prefecture, or league). Generally, the ranking is determined by the provincial vehicle management office based on the status of each prefecture-level administrative region: (the letter 'A' is the code for the capital city, provincial capital, or the central urban area of a municipality directly under the central government, and the subsequent letters are not ranked in any particular order). Additionally, when assigning letter codes to prefecture-level administrative regions, the letters I and O are skipped, with O often being used for police vehicles or government units. 3. The license plate codes for Liaoning Province range from Liao A to Liao P. Specifically, Shenyang City's license plate letter is Liao A, Dalian City's is Liao B, Anshan City's is Liao C, Fushun City's is Liao D, Benxi City's is Liao E, and Dandong City's is Liao F.
Haha, I actually know quite a bit about license plates! Liao F is the license plate code for Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. In China's license plate system, the first Chinese character represents the province, like Liao being the abbreviation for Liaoning, and the second letter indicates the specific city, with F typically corresponding to the provincial capital Shenyang. As a major city in Northeast China, Shenyang's F license plates are very common, similar to Liao A for Dalian or Liao B for Anshan, all standardized allocations. I often go on road trips myself, and spotting a Liao F plate on the highway quickly tells me it's a local Shenyang vehicle, which helps with navigation or communication. This system was designed by traffic authorities for easier management, gradually taking shape since the 1950s. If you're curious about other places, like Beijing's Jing A or Shanghai's Hu A, the same logic applies—it's essential knowledge for everyday driving. License plates aren't just labels; they reflect urban culture too. Shenyang has historical landmarks like the Imperial Palace, and the F plate has become a symbolic marker—remember it, and you'll recognize it at a glance next time!
