Which city does the license plate Ji F belong to?
2 Answers
Ji F license plate belongs to Baishan City in Jilin Province. The license plate codes for various regions in Jilin are: Ji A for Changchun City, Ji B for Jilin City, Ji C for Siping City, Ji D for Liaoyuan City, Ji E for Tonghua City, Ji F for Baishan City, Ji H for Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, Ji J for Songyuan City, Ji K for Changbai Mountain. The current civilian license plates are the 92-style, which have been used nationwide since July 1994. 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, or autonomous region. The second character is an English letter, representing the prefecture-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, generally the letter code for the prefecture-level city, region, autonomous prefecture, or league.
My hometown is in Jilin, and I often drive to Baishan for fun, where the license plates start with Ji F. Baishan is located in the southeast of Jilin Province, near Changbai Mountain. In summer, you can see many Ji F-plated cars on the road while traveling, and the scenery is particularly beautiful, with forests and hot springs. The 'Ji' at the beginning of the license plate represents the entire province, while 'F' is the exclusive code for Baishan, just like 'A' is for Changchun and 'B' is for Jilin City. This unified system is designed to facilitate traffic police management. Locals driving Ji F-plated cars are quite familiar with driving rules. If you're on a road trip, recognizing Ji F plates can help you avoid getting lost, especially since there are many mountain roads—learning a bit about license plate codes before navigating is useful. Baishan's economy relies on tourism and agriculture, and during the winter ski season, there are even more tourists, with license plates often covered in snow.
