Yue F license plate is from Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province. The license plate codes for various regions in Guangdong Province are as follows: Yue A represents Guangzhou, Yue B represents Shenzhen, Yue C represents Zhuhai, Yue D represents Shantou, Yue E represents Foshan, Yue F represents Shaoguan, Yue G represents Zhanjiang, Yue H represents Zhaoqing, Yue J represents Jiangmen, Yue K represents Maoming, Yue L represents Huizhou, Yue M represents Meizhou, Yue N represents Shanwei, Yue P represents Heyuan, Yue Q represents Yangjiang, Yue R represents Qingyuan, Yue S represents Dongguan, Yue T represents Zhongshan, Yue U represents Chaozhou, Yue V represents Jieyang, Yue W represents Yunfu, Yue X represents Shunde District of Foshan, Yue Y represents Nanhai District of Foshan, Yue Z represents vehicles entering the mainland from Hong Kong and Macau. The license plate number is the identification of the vehicle, and its significance to the vehicle is like the ID number to a person.

I worked in Shaoguan for a few years before, so I'm very familiar with this! Yue F is the license plate code for Shaoguan City in Guangdong Province. As a key city in northern Guangdong, Shaoguan is not only home to world natural heritage sites like Danxia Mountain but also serves as the water source for the Pearl River Delta. Every time I see a license plate starting with Yue F on the highway, it reminds me of the local specialty Maba sticky rice and the morning bells and evening drums of Nanhua Temple. Actually, the license plates in Guangdong cities follow a clear pattern: the core Pearl River Delta area uses A to E, eastern Guangdong uses F to J, western Guangdong uses K to P, and northern Guangdong uses Q to S. Next time you see a Yue F plate, you might guess if the owner just returned from hiking the Nanling Mountains.

Yue F is of course the license plate of Shaoguan! My cousin works at Shaogang, and his pickup truck has a Yue F plate. Speaking of which, Shaoguan is a truly special place—it's not only the northern gateway of Guangdong but also the source of the Pearl River. The 'F' on the license plate actually stands for 'far north' in English. In the sequence of Guangdong license plates, F ranks sixth: Guangzhou A, Shenzhen B, Zhuhai C, Shantou D, Foshan E, followed by Shaoguan F. I remember once seeing a Yue F plate in Ganzhou, Jiangxi, and the driver said they were returning from a trip to Danxia Mountain.

I once rented a car in Shaoguan and was deeply impressed by the Yue F license plates. They represent Shaoguan City in northern Guangdong Province, most famous for its crimson Danxia landform. Actually, Guangdong license plates are quite interesting: special economic zones get earlier letters, like Shenzhen B and Zhuhai C; industrial cities follow, such as Foshan E; while Shaoguan F represents an important ecological barrier area. Once at a service station in Chenzhou, Hunan, I spotted three refrigerated trucks with Yue F plates, all transporting local specialty water chestnuts.

Yue F is the license plate code for Shaoguan, Guangdong. Speaking of Shaoguan, it's not only home to the origin of Cantonese culture like Zhuji Lane but also a protection base for South China tigers. In the license plate arrangement, Yue F comes after the provincial capital Guangzhou A and the special economic zone Shenzhen B, in the same batch as Foshan E. A colleague once rented a car with a Yue F plate to Nanling, and in Ruyuan Yao Village, the locals immediately recognized it as from Shaoguan, showing how deeply ingrained this identifier is.
