Which region does a license plate starting with 'Ji' belong to?

Ji is the license plate prefix for Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. Ji is the abbreviation for Hebei Province, hence all vehicle license plates in Hebei Province start with 'Ji', with license plate codes ranging from JiA to JiT. Hebei Province is a provincial-level administrative region of the People's Republic of China, with Shijiazhuang as its capital. Information regarding vehicle license plates is as follows: 1. License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, refer to the plates hung on the front and rear of a vehicle. They are typically made of aluminum, iron, plastic, or paper, and display the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. 2. License plates serve as a numbering and information registration system for vehicles. Their primary function is to identify the region to which a vehicle belongs and to trace the vehicle's owner and registration details based on the plate. 3. License plate numbers can be customized, with the exception of the first two characters, which must comply with national regulations; the remaining characters can be freely chosen.
During my travels across China, I often pay attention to license plates. License plates starting with the character 'Ji' (冀) actually represent Hebei Province. I remember last year when I drove to Qinhuangdao, I saw many cars with license plates beginning with 'Ji', which is the abbreviation for Hebei, such as Ji A for Shijiazhuang and Ji B for Tangshan. The first Chinese character on a license plate in China represents the provincial code, with 'Jing' (京) for Beijing, 'Hu' (沪) for Shanghai, and 'Ji' (冀) for Hebei. Knowing this makes traveling more convenient, as it allows you to quickly identify where a car is from. Hebei is a large province with a variety of license plates, and you can tell the origin by the city code, which helps avoid taking the wrong route. From my personal experience, Hebei license plates are commonly seen on national highways or at service areas. Familiarity with these identifiers makes self-driving trips more reassuring.
