Lu G is the license plate code for Weifang City, Shandong Province. The license plate codes for various regions in Shandong Province are as follows: Jinan City is Lu A, Qingdao City is Lu B, Zibo City is Lu C, Zaozhuang City is Lu D, Dongying City is Lu E, Yantai City is Lu F, Weifang City is Lu G, Jining City is Lu H, Tai'an City is Lu J, Weihai City is Lu K, Rizhao City is Lu L, Laiwu City is Lu S, Linyi City is Lu Q, Dezhou City is Lu N, Liaocheng City is Lu P, Binzhou City is Lu M, and Heze City is Lu R. Weifang City is located in the western part of the Shandong Peninsula and is a prefecture-level city in Shandong Province. It is designated by the State Council as the regional central city of the Shandong Peninsula urban agglomeration. The total area of Weifang City is 15,859 square kilometers, and its climate is a warm temperate monsoon semi-humid continental climate.

I remember that black car with the Lu G license plate, it was my cousin's car. She lives in Weifang, so the Lu at the beginning of the license plate represents Shandong, and G stands for Weifang. Weifang is located in the eastern part of Shandong and is famous for its kite culture festival, which attracts many visitors every year. The character Lu on the license plate is the provincial abbreviation, and each province has its own code, like Ji for Hebei and Su for Jiangsu. The letter G is exclusive to Weifang. The letters for Shandong cities start from A, with A being Jinan, B Qingdao, and so on. Driving a car with a Lu G plate on the highway and encountering other Lu-plated cars feels like meeting fellow townspeople. The license plate rules help the police easily track vehicles and avoid confusion in cases of speeding or accidents. If you see Lu G, you can pretty much confirm that the car is from Weifang city or its suburban counties.

As someone interested in license plate systems, I've researched that Lu G is the standard license plate for Weifang, Shandong. Chinese license plate codes are straightforward: the first character is the province abbreviation, with Lu representing Shandong; followed by a letter indicating the city, where G stands for Weifang. Located on the Shandong Peninsula, Weifang is known as the city of kites, and the G plate has remained unchanged since its introduction in the 1970s. Other Shandong license plates like Lu A for Jinan and Lu B for Qingdao reflect either the city's size or administrative order. The license plate design aids traffic management, such as linking vehicle registration information to local systems. In daily driving, spotting a Lu G plate suggests the owner might be from Weifang's industrial zones or kite markets.

Last year on a business trip to Weifang, I rented a car with a Lu G license plate. The driver explained that Lu stands for Shandong, and G specifically refers to the city of Weifang. Weifang is coastal with beautiful scenery, such as the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area. The license plate system is quite practical, with a uniform format nationwide: provincial abbreviation + city letter. Within Shandong, letters A to Z are allocated to different regions, with G representing Weifang. This helped me avoid taking wrong routes while navigating, as highway signs often display the license plate prefixes of destinations.
