Which cities do the license plates Ji A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H belong to?

[StRicardo]

Ji A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H represent Shijiazhuang, Tangshan, Qinhuangdao, Handan, Xingtai, Baoding, Zhangjiakou, and Chengde respectively. The first character of a license plate is a Chinese character, representing the abbreviation of the province where the vehicle is registered; the second is an English letter, representing the code of the prefecture-level city where the vehicle is located. License plates are plates mounted on the front and rear of a vehicle, typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, inscribed with the vehicle's registration number, registration area, or other relevant information. License plates serve as a numbering and information registration system for vehicles, primarily allowing identification of the vehicle's registered region and enabling the lookup of the vehicle's owner and registration details based on the plate.

I'm a seasoned driver from Hebei, having driven trucks all over the province, and I'm very familiar with the license plate codes. Ji A definitely belongs to the provincial capital Shijiazhuang, the economic hub with heavy traffic; Ji B represents Tangshan, where there are many steel plants and frequent vehicle movements; Ji C is Qinhuangdao, near the coast where tourist plates are common; Ji D for Handan, Ji E for Xingtai, Ji F for Baoding, Ji G for Zhangjiakou, Ji H for Chengde, each city clearly distinguished. For example, vehicles from Chengde's Summer Resort have Ji H plates. The zoning rules are quite reasonable, covering all directions of Hebei. On the highway, you can tell where a vehicle is from just by looking at the plate, avoiding wrong turns, and sometimes even chatting with fellow locals about regional specialties, like Baoding's rich pancake culture.

I often go on self-driving trips, and remembering license plates has been a great help. The license plates in Hebei Province are straightforward: Ji A for Shijiazhuang, Ji B for Tangshan, Ji C for Qinhuangdao, Ji D for Handan, Ji E for Xingtai, Ji F for Baoding, Ji G for Zhangjiakou, and Ji H for Chengde. Young car enthusiasts often share these during gatherings, such as spotting many Ji G plates at ski resorts in Zhangjiakou. The regional division makes it easier to identify vehicles on the road and adds interesting anecdotes to travel plans, helping to avoid unnecessary detours in urban areas.
