Which region does the license plate 'Hei L' belong to?
2 Answers
Hei L was the license plate designation for the Songhua River region before its merger with Harbin City. The license plate codes for various regions in Heilongjiang Province are as follows: Hei A for Harbin, Hei B for Qiqihar, Hei C for Mudanjiang, Hei D for Jiamusi, Hei E for Daqing, Hei F for Yichun, Hei G for Jixi, Hei H for Hegang, Hei J for Shuangyashan, Hei K for Qitaihe, Hei L for counties under Harbin and Shuangcheng District, Hei M for Suihua, Hei N for Heihe, Hei P for Daxing'anling, and Hei R for the Heilongjiang Agricultural Reclamation Administration. License plates, commonly referred to as vehicle plates, are metal or plastic plates affixed to the front and rear of a vehicle, typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, displaying the vehicle's registration number and the region of registration, along with other relevant information.
I've been driving for almost thirty years and have seen license plates from all over the country. The plate starting with 'Hei L' belongs to Suihua City in Heilongjiang Province. All Heilongjiang plates begin with 'Hei', followed by a letter representing different cities—'Hei A' is Harbin, and 'Hei L' is Suihua. I often do freight transport in the Northeast, and at gas stations or rest areas around Suihua, I see a lot of trucks with 'Hei L' plates. License plate designs are meant for easy management, allowing people to instantly recognize the origin. When friends from other places ask about it, I tell them this knowledge is quite practical—don’t underestimate a single letter; it represents an entire city. Understanding these details can also help avoid navigation mistakes during long-distance drives. Suihua is a major agricultural city, so 'Hei L' plates are a common sight there. In short, while license plates may seem small, there’s a lot to learn from them.
