The license plate Lu Q belongs to Shandong Province. The license plate codes for various regions in Shandong Province are as follows: Lu A is Jinan, Lu B is Qingdao, Lu C is Zibo, Lu D is Zaozhuang, Lu E is Dongying, Lu F is Yantai, Lu G is Weifang, Lu H is Jining, Lu J is Tai'an, Lu K is Weihai, Lu L is Rizhao, Lu M is Binzhou, Lu N is Dezhou, Lu P is Liaocheng, Lu Q is Linyi, Lu R is Heze, Lu S is Laiwu, Lu U is supplementary for Qingdao, Lu V is supplementary for Weifang, Lu W is for provincial government agencies, Lu Y is supplementary for Yantai. The first Chinese character of the license plate number represents the abbreviation of the province where the vehicle is registered; the second English letter represents the code for the prefecture-level city where the vehicle is located, with A being the provincial capital, B being the second largest city in the province, and C being the third largest city in the province.
I used to drive to other cities for business trips frequently and often saw license plates starting with 'Lu Q', which definitely belongs to Shandong Province. In China, the first character of a license plate is the abbreviation of the province, with 'Lu' representing Shandong, and 'Q' standing for Linyi City. I once shared this trivia with friends during a chat on the road—the license plate numbering system has been standardized since the 1950s, with 'A' assigned to the provincial capital Jinan, 'B' to Qingdao, and so on up to 'Q' for Linyi. Shandong is a large province, home to cultural landmarks like Mount Tai and Qufu, while Linyi, near the coast, boasts beautiful scenery. Knowing these details can be helpful for driving, such as recognizing vehicles from different regions to anticipate driving habits. I recommend paying more attention to license plates for safer daily driving. In short, 'Lu Q' is a regional identifier for Shandong.
