Which region does the license plate 'Hei L' belong to?
2 Answers
Hei L was the license plate prefix for the Songhuajiang region before its merger with Harbin City. In May 2014, the State Council approved adjustments to some of the administrative divisions in Harbin City, which included the abolition of the county-level Shuangcheng City and the establishment of Shuangcheng District. Here is more information about vehicle license plate numbers: 1. The first Chinese character of a license plate number represents the province where the vehicle is registered at the vehicle management office. The second letter is allocated based on the ranking of the city where the vehicle management office is located within the province. 2. In some large cities, the following five digits may consist of the first two letters followed by three numbers. 3. The first one or two digits indicate the sequence of license plate issuance. Generally, 2-4 letters are released at a time, and the following numbers are a code, not strictly in order, allowing for number selection.
Friends in Heilongjiang might be more familiar with the black L license plates, which are exclusive to the agricultural reclamation system. These plates are commonly seen on the expressway between Jiamusi and Jixi during long-distance trips, with high recognition—green background and white characters, featuring the letter L followed by five digits or letters. Apart from vehicles from the headquarters, official cars from the nine subordinate branches also bear this plate, such as those from the 852 Farm and Friendship Farm. Experienced drivers can immediately recognize them as vehicles from agricultural reclamation units. These vehicles are most active during the spring plowing and autumn harvest seasons, usually handling transportation tasks between farms.
