Yue V license plate is from Jieyang City, Guangdong Province. The license plate codes for various regions in Guangdong Province are: Yue A for Guangzhou, Yue B for Shenzhen, Yue C for Zhuhai, Yue D for Shantou, Yue E for Foshan, Yue F for Shaoguan, Yue G for Zhanjiang, Yue H for Zhaoqing, Yue J for Jiangmen, Yue K for Maoming, Yue L for Huizhou, Yue M for Meizhou, Yue N for Shanwei, Yue P for Heyuan, Yue Q for Yangjiang, Yue R for Qingyuan, Yue S for Dongguan, Yue T for Zhongshan, Yue U for Chaozhou, Yue V for Jieyang, Yue W for Yunfu, Yue X for Shunde, Yue Y for Nanhai, Yue Z for vehicles entering the mainland from Hong Kong and Macau. The license plate is a driving permit issued by the local vehicle management office to motor vehicles, equivalent to the vehicle's ID card. Vehicles without license plates are not allowed on the road.
I just bought a car not long ago and was quite curious when I got the Guangdong V license plate. After asking around, I learned that it represents Foshan City within Guangdong Province. The 'Yue' at the beginning of Guangdong license plates is definitely used province-wide, while the following letters act like city codes—Yue A for Guangzhou, Yue B for Shenzhen, Yue C for Zhuhai, and Yue E for Foshan. However, in actual license plates, Yue V is also used on some vehicles in Foshan. I remember when I first started driving, I didn’t understand these things and almost got lost on the highway because reading license plates can help with navigation. Foshan has a well-developed automotive industry, and many companies use such license plates. New drivers unfamiliar with license plate regions might end up in accidents. In short, knowing a bit of common sense doesn’t hurt, so you don’t end up clueless on long drives.
