License plate 'Gui' belongs to Guizhou Province. The license plate codes for various regions in Guizhou Province are: Gui A for Guiyang, Gui B for Liupanshui, Gui C for Zunyi, Gui D for Tongren, Gui E for Qianxinan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Gui F for Bijie, Gui G for Anshun, Gui H for Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Gui J for Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture. License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, refer to the plates hung on the front and rear of vehicles. They are usually made of aluminum, sheet iron, plastic, or paper, and display the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. The first character of a 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.

I've been driving for over a decade, so I'm very familiar with the fact that the character 'Gui' on license plates represents Guizhou Province. Every time I see vehicles with 'Gui A' or 'Gui B' plates on the highway, it feels like seeing an old friend—especially during long trips to the south. The mountainous terrain in Guizhou makes these plate prefixes a useful reminder for drivers to stay alert. I remember once visiting Guiyang, where locals told me 'Gui' is the abbreviation, with A to G corresponding to different cities or regions. For example, Guiyang uses 'Gui A.' This system, standardized nationwide, helps avoid regional confusion. Picking up such trivia makes road trips more engaging and adds a bit of fun to driving. In short, whenever you see a 'Gui' plate, you can be sure it's from Guizhou.

The 'Gui' at the beginning of a license plate refers to Guizhou Province. I've been curious about this since I started learning to drive. Now, with more road trips, I often see vehicles with 'Gui A' plates entering and exiting scenic areas, representing the provincial capital, Guiyang. The license plate system is designed simply, using 'Gui' to avoid complex words, while other cities are divided alphabetically, making it easier to identify out-of-town vehicles on congested roads. Guizhou boasts stunning landscapes, like the Huangguoshu Waterfall, and the license plate prefix reminds me of the local scenery, reinforcing geographical memory. This is quite helpful for new drivers, allowing them to learn about road conditions or culture in advance, making driving less monotonous. Flipping through a license plate manual or checking online resources casually can provide useful knowledge.

Chinese license plates follow a pattern where the character 'Gui' at the beginning always represents the abbreviation of Guizhou Province. The national regulations stipulate that each province uses a specific Chinese character, and Guizhou has chosen 'Gui', with its capital Guiyang designated as 'Gui A'. For example, when you see 'Gui B' on the road, you immediately know it's a vehicle from Liupanshui City. This system helps traffic police manage traffic, and drivers can quickly identify the origin of a vehicle. When I was studying for my driver's license, I memorized these codes. In actual driving, when encountering out-of-province license plates, remembering that 'Gui' stands for Guizhou can help avoid misunderstandings. It's simple and easy to learn, something every driver encounters in daily life.
