Which region does the license plate 'Hei E' belong to?

Hei E is the license plate code for Daqing City in Heilongjiang Province. The license plate codes for various regions in Heilongjiang are as follows: Hei A - Harbin City, Hei B - Qiqihar City, Hei C - Mudanjiang City, Hei D - Jiamusi City, Hei E - Daqing City, Hei F - Yichun City, Hei G - Jixi City, Hei H - Hegang City, Hei J - Shuangyashan City, Hei K - Qitaihe City, Hei L - Songhuajiang Region (now merged into Harbin City, but the license plate code remains unchanged), Hei M - Suihua City, Hei N - Heihe City, Hei P - Daxing'anling Region, Hei R - Agricultural Reclamation System. Daqing City, also known as the Oil City or the City of a Hundred Lakes, is a prefecture-level city in Heilongjiang Province. It is designated by the State Council as an important regional central city in western Heilongjiang Province and a significant petroleum production and petrochemical industrial base in China.

I’ve always had a good understanding of license plates. In China’s license plate system, the first character of the prefix represents the province—‘黑’ (Hei) is the abbreviation for Heilongjiang. The following letter ‘E’ refers to specific prefecture-level cities or regions within the province, particularly the Greater Khingan Range area. I remember when I first started driving, I often went on road trips up north and came across many Heilongjiang plates. For example, 黑A (Hei A) is Harbin, 黑B (Hei B) is Qiqihar, and plates like 黑E (Hei E) are commonly seen on vehicles around the Greater Khingan Range. This license plate design is quite convenient—you can often guess where a car is from at a glance, which is useful for identifying out-of-town vehicles. In daily driving, knowing these details helps avoid misunderstandings with drivers from other regions. Plus, rental companies often use local plates, so if you’re planning a long-distance trip with a rental car, it’s best to check in advance. Overall, while China’s license plate system may seem simple, it holds a lot of regional culture, which is pretty fascinating.

I'm a car enthusiast who often studies license plate details. The 'Hei' in the 'Hei E' license plate stands for Heilongjiang, while 'E' represents the Daxing'anling region. My friend runs a tourism car rental business there and often complains that most 'Hei E' plate owners are local residents, with poor mountain road conditions leading to common plate rust issues. If it were me, I'd suggest checking the integrity of the license plate when driving a new car or on a road trip to avoid being stopped by authorities. For example, other plates like 'Hei D' represent Jiamusi, and 'Hei C' stands for Mudanjiang, each with its own characteristics. After years of driving, I find this knowledge not only helps identify cars but also adds some fun. Next time before traveling, I'll look up the license plate codes in advance to be better prepared.
