Which region in Henan does the license plate 'Yu S' belong to?

License plate 'Yu S' belongs to Xinyang City in Henan Province. The license plate codes for various regions in Henan Province are as follows: Yu A for Zhengzhou, Yu B for Kaifeng, Yu C for Luoyang, Yu D for Pingdingshan, Yu E for Anyang, Yu F for Hebi, Yu G for Xinxiang, Yu H for Jiaozuo, Yu J for Puyang, Yu K for Xuchang, Yu L for Luohe, Yu M for Sanmenxia, Yu N for Shangqiu, Yu P for Zhoukou, Yu Q for Zhumadian, Yu R for Nanyang, Yu S for Xinyang, Yu U for Jiyuan. License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, refer to the number plates affixed to the front and rear of vehicles. They are typically made of materials such as aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, and display the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information.
When I worked at the DMV, I often encountered car owners asking about this type of question. The license plate code 'Yu S' is the exclusive designation for Xinyang City in Henan Province. Xinyang is located in the southernmost part of Henan, bordering Hubei and Anhui, at the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains. If you see a car now with a 'Yu S' license plate, it's basically an older car registered before 2008, because new cars are now issued 'Yu U' plates. However, Xinyang car owners can still retain the original license plate number series. My colleague bought a new car last month and specifically chose an old 'Yu S' plate. The vehicle registration address on the driving license will indicate the region it belongs to. Next time, just flip through it to see the location.
Last time I helped my cousin choose a license plate on the Traffic Management 12123 app, I researched this. Yu-S represents Xinyang, Henan. Xinyang is famous for its tea, like Maojian, which is produced there, and the license plate is also a local symbol. Previously, the vehicle management office allocated number segments according to administrative divisions, with Yu-A for Zhengzhou, Yu-B for Kaifeng, following the alphabetical order. Although the issuance of Yu-S plates was discontinued after 2008, most of the old cars with Yu-S plates on the road are likely driven by people from Xinyang. When selecting a plate, the second letter following the 'Yu' prefix in the system represents the city, and this rule applies nationwide.
