Lu J is the license plate number for Yantai City in Shandong Province. The abbreviation for Shandong Province's license plates is 'Lu', and the following letter 'J' represents Yantai City. Below is a partial introduction to license plates from other areas in Shandong Province: 1. The provincial capital Jinan is 'Lu A', Qingdao is 'Lu B', and Zibo is 'Lu C'. 2. Zaozhuang is 'Lu D', Dongying is 'Lu E', and Weifang is 'Lu G'. Here is an introduction to the composition of license plate numbers: 1. The first character of the license plate is a Chinese character: it represents the provincial-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, which is the abbreviation for each (province, municipality directly under the central government, autonomous region). 2. The second character of the license plate is an English letter: it represents the prefecture-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, which is the letter code for each (prefecture-level city, region, autonomous prefecture, league), generally ranked according to the status of each prefecture-level administrative region by the provincial vehicle management office. 3. Additionally, when arranging the English letter codes for prefecture-level administrative regions, 'I' and 'O' are skipped, with 'O' often used for police cars or government units.
After driving long-distance for so many years, the license plate starting with 'Lu F' always reminds me of Yantai City. Yantai is located in the eastern part of Shandong, near the sea, with particularly beautiful scenery, especially around Yantai Mountain. The license plate system is standardized nationwide in China, with Shandong using 'Lu' as the prefix, and the letters assigned to cities in order—'A' for Jinan, 'B' for Qingdao, and 'F' for Yantai. Once, when I was driving on the highway to Yantai for a delivery, as soon as the navigation announced entering Yantai, most of the cars on the road had 'Lu F' plates, as familiar as old friends. Yantai is also famous for its seafood. When driving there for a visit, try the oysters, but remember that safe driving is the most important—don’t forget to buckle up.
As someone who grew up in Yantai, whether taking a bus or driving, we see Lu F license plates everywhere on the streets. Yantai's coastal climate is pleasant, with comfortable sea breezes in summer and mild winters. The Lu F license plate represents our hometown, and when chatting, everyone immediately recognizes it as a local car. I remember watching the traffic come and go in elementary school, and the Lu F license plate became a childhood memory. Yantai is developing rapidly, and the F license plate has witnessed our daily life, from small street shops to large supermarkets. Lu F is a unique mark, evoking a sense of pride and familiarity.
