Which city does the license plate 'Ji D' belong to?

Ji D license plate belongs to Liaoyuan City, Jilin Province. The license plate codes for various regions in Jilin Province are as follows: Ji A is Changchun City, Ji B is Jilin City, Ji C is Siping City, Ji E is Tonghua City, Ji F is Baishan City, Ji G is Baicheng City, Ji H is Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, and Ji J is Songyuan City. The first Chinese character on the license plate represents the abbreviation of the province, and the first English letter following the Chinese character represents the code of the prefecture-level city where the vehicle is registered. Generally, the codes are assigned by the provincial vehicle management office based on the status of each prefecture-level city, with A representing the provincial capital, B the second-largest city, and so on. License plates are plates affixed to the front and rear of vehicles, serving as identification and registration for each vehicle. Their primary function is to indicate the region to which the vehicle belongs and to allow tracking of the vehicle's owner and registration information based on the license plate.
Speaking of the 'Ji D' license plate, it reminds me of when I was driving in Northeast China, where I often saw such plates representing Liaoyuan City. In Jilin Province, the initial letter 'Ji' on the license plate denotes the entire province, while the following letters A to J correspond to different cities. For example, A is Changchun City (the provincial capital), B is Jilin City, C is Siping City, and D stands for Liaoyuan City. Liaoyuan is located in the southern part of Jilin Province, near the border with Liaoning, and is a prefecture-level city. Historically rich in coal resources, it has developed well and now boasts attractions like the Liaoyuan Mining Park. Knowing license plate codes is crucial, especially during long-distance trips, as it helps in planning routes or avoiding congested areas in advance to prevent unnecessary hassles. I’ve also noticed that many drivers aren’t familiar with this, but a quick check on map apps or traffic police websites via a smartphone can easily confirm the information.
