Where is the license plate 'Zhe G' from?

Zhe G is the license plate of Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province. Zhe A represents Hangzhou, Zhe B represents Ningbo, Zhe C represents Wenzhou, Zhe D represents Shaoxing, Zhe E represents Huzhou, Zhe F represents Jiaxing, Zhe G represents Jinhua, Zhe H represents Quzhou, Zhe J represents Taizhou, Zhe K represents Lishui, and Zhe L represents Zhoushan. Here is an introduction about license plates: 1. The first Chinese character on the license plate is the abbreviation of the province or municipality directly under the central government, and the letter following the first Chinese character represents the city or district. 2. A license plate is a permit for a car to legally drive on the road. 3. There are two types of car license plates: one is a temporary license plate; the other is a formal license plate. 4. Temporary license plates need to be pasted on the front and rear windshields according to regulations; formal license plates need to be fixed to the front and rear of the car body according to regulations.
Zhe G stands for Jinhua, as I learned from a license plate knowledge-sharing platform. Our license plate system is quite interesting. 'Zhe' represents Zhejiang Province, and the letter 'G' corresponds to Jinhua City, including areas like Yiwu and Dongyang. In Zhejiang Province, license plate letters are assigned from A to H. For example, Zhe A is Hangzhou as the provincial capital, B is Ningbo, C is Wenzhou, D is Shaoxing, E is Huzhou, F is Jiaxing, G is Jinhua, and H is Lishui. These are arranged either in order or based on the city's importance. I know Jinhua is particularly famous for its small commodity markets and Jinhua ham. This license plate design makes it easy to identify the origin of vehicles on the road. For instance, when traveling or road-tripping and seeing a Zhe G plate, you know it's driven by someone from Jinhua, reminding me to pay more attention to local culture. The entire system is managed by the public security department, with fixed letters to facilitate vehicle checks and safety. I shared this because I find such everyday knowledge quite practical and it helps avoid the risk of license plate misuse.
