Where is the license plate with 'Yue Q' from?
2 Answers
Yue Q license plate refers to the vehicle registration of Yangjiang City in Guangdong Province. 'Yue' is the Chinese abbreviation for Guangdong Province, while 'Q' is the code for the vehicle management office in Yangjiang City. The introduction of license plate numbers in Guangdong Province is as follows: 1. Yue A—Guangzhou, Yue B—Shenzhen, Yue C—Zhuhai, Yue D—Shantou; 2. Yue E—Foshan, Yue F—Shaoguan, Yue G—Zhanjiang, Yue H—Zhaoqing; 3. Yue J—Jiangmen, Yue K—Maoming, Yue L—Huizhou, Yue M—Meizhou; 4. Yue N—Shanwei, Yue Q—Yangjiang, Yue P—Heyuan, Yue R—Qingyuan; 5. Yue V—Jieyang, Yue U—Chaozhou, Yue T—Zhongshan, Yue S—Dongguan; 6. Yue W—Yunfu, Yue X—Shunde District, Yue Y—Nanhai District, Yue Z—Vehicles from Hong Kong and Macau entering mainland China.
I've been running long-distance routes in Guangdong for over a decade and have memorized all the license plate letters. Those starting with Yue Q are definitely from Yangjiang, that coastal city famous for its Hailing Island beach scenery. Whenever I see Yue Q plates at rest stops, I know the drivers might be vacationers or workers from Yangjiang. All Guangdong plates begin with Yue, with strict city letter assignments: A for Guangzhou, B for Shenzhen, all the way to Q for Yangjiang, S for Dongguan, etc., making it easy to quickly identify a vehicle's origin. Memorizing these letters is practical - it helps avoid getting lost when planning routes or understanding local conditions, and adds regional flavor to daily driving conversations. I particularly love Yangjiang's seafood snacks, and when driving there, the license plates serve as guides. License plates aren't just identity markers, they add fun to journeys.
