Which region does the Shaanxi U license plate belong to?

Shaanxi U is the license plate for Xi'an, where 'Shaan' is the abbreviation for Shaanxi Province. The license plate codes for other cities in Shaanxi Province are as follows: Shaan B for Tongchuan City, Shaan C for Baoji City, Shaan D for Xianyang City, Shaan E for Weinan City, Shaan F for Hanzhong City, Shaan G for Ankang City, Shaan H for Shangluo City, Shaan J for Yan'an City, Shaan K for Yulin City, and Shaan V for Yangling Agricultural Demonstration Zone. License plates are plates hung on the front and rear of vehicles, made of materials such as aluminum, sheet iron, plastic, or paper. They serve the following purposes: 1. Identifying the region to which the vehicle belongs; 2. Tracing the vehicle's owner and registration information through the license plate.
Recently, I've noticed many license plates starting with 'Shan U' on the streets of Xi'an and looked it up. Currently, both 'Shan U' and 'Shan A' are Xi'an license plates. In earlier years, Xi'an only used 'Shan A,' but with the explosive growth of vehicles in recent years, the 'Shan A' plate resources became insufficient. Last year, the Xi'an Vehicle Management Office announced the addition of the 'Shan U' series as a supplement. My friend's newly purchased car last month has a 'Shan U' plate, which allows travel in all areas of Xi'an just like 'Shan A' plates. This kind of supplemental plate series is common in large cities, similar to 'Su U' in Suzhou and 'Yue X' in Foshan. In fact, the second letter of the license plate represents the issuing authority, and both 'Shan U' and 'Shan A' are issued and managed by the Xi'an Traffic Police Brigade.
