Which cities have implemented China VI emission standards?

Provinces and cities implementing China VI standards include: Hebei, Henan, Hainan, Chongqing, Anhui, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Shandong, Shaanxi, etc. Below is relevant information about China VI standards: 1. Concept: The China VI motor vehicle pollutant emission standards (National Sixth Stage) were formulated to implement the "Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China", aiming to control pollution from compression-ignition and gas-fueled ignition engine vehicle exhaust, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard human health. It consists of two parts: "Limits and Measurement Methods for Emissions from Light-duty Vehicles (China VI)" and "Limits and Measurement Methods for Emissions from Heavy-duty Diesel Vehicles (China VI)". 2. Proposed postponement: The suggestion to delay nationwide implementation of China VI standards mainly considers two factors: First, due to the pandemic impact, whether automakers can clear their existing inventory before the standards take effect; Second, the new China VI standards involve particulate matter emission limits, requiring new vehicles to undergo corresponding testing and validation. As work resumption hasn't fully normalized, appropriate delay could provide automakers more preparation time.
As someone who cares about changes in automotive policies, I know that the China 6 emission standards were first implemented in some major cities starting in 2019, primarily including first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, as well as key regions such as Tianjin, Hangzhou, and Chengdu. Later, by July 2023, China 6b was extended to all cities nationwide, requiring all newly registered vehicles to comply with the standards. This has greatly benefited environmental protection, reducing air pollutants, and I’ve heard that used car transactions have also become more standardized. Driving in big cities has become cleaner.
