Which region does the license plate starting with 'Yan' belong to?

[StJosiah]

There are no license plates in China that start with 'Yan'. More information about license plates is as follows: 1. The first Chinese character on a license plate represents the province or municipality directly under the central government, and the letter following the first character represents the city or district. 2. A license plate is a permit for a vehicle to legally drive on the road. 3. License plates are plates hung on the front and rear of a vehicle, usually made of aluminum, sheet iron, plastic, or paper, engraved with the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. 2. License plates are used for numbering and information registration of vehicles. Their main function is to identify the region to which the vehicle belongs through the license plate, and to trace the owner of the vehicle and its registration information based on the license plate.

I see the license plate code 'Yan' and know it's from Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture in Jilin Province. This code comes from the provincial abbreviation, as license plates nationwide use the first letter or distinctive symbols to identify provinces and regions. I've researched before that Yanbian is located in the northeastern border, close to North Korea, with stunning scenery including Changbai Mountain's Heaven Lake and Korean Folk Culture Village. Driving there for a trip also lets you taste kimchi and cold noodles. License plate recognition is quite practical—when encountering out-of-town vehicles like those with 'Yan' plates, I guess the owner might be from Yanbian, reminding myself to check the car's condition, such as headlight brightness, to ensure safe night driving. Winters in the northeast have lots of snow and ice, making headlights especially important. I've seen many cars forget maintenance before long trips, leading to accidents due to lighting issues. In short, 'Yan' plates are only in Yanbian, Jilin, and remembering this code helps avoid confusion.
