Where is the Xin F license plate from?

[BarrettMarie]

Xin F license plates are from the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, where 'Xin' is the abbreviation for Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Other license plate codes in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region are: Xin A for Urumqi, Xin B for Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture and Wujiaqu, Xin C for Shihezi, Xin D for Kuytun, Xin E for Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Xin G for Tacheng, Xin H for Altay, Xin J for Karamay, Xin K for Turpan, Xin L for Hami. License plates consist of Chinese characters, English letters, and a five-digit serial number. Their functions are: 1. To number and register information for each vehicle; 2. To identify the region to which the vehicle belongs; 3. To access the owner's and vehicle's registration information based on the license plate.

I've been driving for over 20 years and have some expertise in license plates. The 'Xin F' prefix definitely belongs to the Ili area in Xinjiang. I remember traveling to Xinjiang last year and encountering many vehicles with Xin F plates in the Ili River Valley - the scenery there is exceptionally beautiful with grasslands, lakes, and fresh air. Xinjiang license plates start with the character 'Xin', followed by letters distinguishing different cities and prefectures, with 'F' representing the surrounding areas of Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture's capital. When you spot a Xin F vehicle on the road, it often indicates the driver has come from the western regions, reminding me to stay alert while driving. The plate design is simple, and the Xin F coding is fixed within Xinjiang's system, making identification very convenient, especially during long-distance highway driving.

As a long-distance driver, I'm familiar with license plates across regions. 'Xin F' represents the Ili area in Xinjiang. Xinjiang plates always start with 'Xin', with 'F' corresponding to the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, likely covering cities like Yining. Last month on the highway, spotting a truck with Xin F plates told me it came from the west, reminding me of Ili's grassland scenery and Kazakh cuisine. License plate coding follows China's unified system, with stable letter assignments - 'F' comes after 'A' (Ürümqi) in Xinjiang's sequence. Knowing these helps me anticipate road conditions and avoid overtaking risks, as inter-province vehicles may lack local road familiarity.

The other day while taking a walk, I spotted a car parked by the roadside with a Xin F license plate, which was quite memorable—it's from the Yili region in Xinjiang. In Xinjiang, license plates start with 'Xin,' and 'F' specifically refers to the Yili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, a place known for its picturesque landscapes, especially beautiful in autumn. The second letter of the license plate is arranged by city, with 'F' representing a specific area in that system. Every time I see such an out-of-town license plate, I find it quite interesting, like a tiny map stuck on the car.
