Which city does the license plate 'Dong' belong to?

There is no license plate in China with the character 'Dong'. Here is the relevant introduction to license plates: 1. The first character of the license plate is a Chinese character representing the provincial-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, which is the abbreviation of the (province, municipality directly under the central government, autonomous region). The second character is an English letter representing the prefecture-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, which is the letter code for the (prefecture-level city, region, autonomous prefecture, league). 2. Motor vehicle registration number: According to different types of motor vehicle license plates, the motor vehicle registration number includes the Chinese character abbreviation of the province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the central government, the English letter representing the code of the licensing authority, the serial number composed of Arabic numerals and English letters, and the Chinese character abbreviation used for license plate classification of motor vehicles with special properties.

My hometown is in Foshan, and I'm very familiar with the license plates on the road. Cars with license plates starting with 'Yue E' are definitely from our Foshan. The license plate letters in Guangdong Province are clearly divided: 'A' is for Guangzhou, 'B' is for Shaoguan, and our Foshan is assigned 'E'. Last time, my neighbor bought a car and asked why it wasn't 'Yue F'. Actually, 'Yue F' has long been assigned to Zhaoqing. Some new drivers often confuse 'Yue E' with Dongguan. In fact, Dongguan license plates start with 'Yue S'. My nephew just bought a car and got it registered in Dongguan last month, and he even sent me a photo of the license plate. To check the latest license plate codes for different regions, it's best to visit the official WeChat account of the local vehicle management office.

Just saw a Mercedes-Benz with a YueD (Eastern Guangdong) license plate at the toll station. Foshan license plates start with YueE, ranking third among cities in the province. The Pearl River Delta license plates actually follow the old administrative divisions: the provincial capital Guangzhou takes the letter A, the special economic zone Shenzhen gets B, followed by C and D for the special zones of Shantou and Zhuhai. It's perfectly reasonable for Foshan, as the fifth largest city, to get E. Dongguan is special with S because it was later designated as a separate prefecture-level city. I can even recite this alphabet by heart: YueA Guangzhou, YueB Shenzhen, YueC Zhuhai, YueD Shantou, YueE Foshan. Checking license plates is now more convenient with mini-programs.

Here's a catchy rhyme to remember license plates in Guangdong: A for Guangzhou, B for Shenzhen, C for Zhuhai, D for Shantou, E for Foshan, and S for Dongguan. We folks in Foshan are most familiar with the Yue E plates - you might spot more Yue E cars on the ring expressway than local vehicles. Last time, a friend insisted Yue E belonged to Dongguan, which cost us a bet and a free meal. Actually, Guangdong license plates were assigned back in 1993, with A for the provincial capital, and B to E allocated to special economic zones and economically strong cities in order of establishment. The rarest are the Yue Z plates - those are exclusive to Hong Kong and Macau vehicles, mostly seen around the Hengqin Port.
