Which region in Yunnan does the license plate 'Yun B' belong to?

Currently, there is no 'Yun B' license plate in Yunnan Province. The license plates in Yunnan Province are as follows: Yun A for Kunming, Yun C for Zhaotong, Yun D for Qujing, Yun E for Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yun F for Yuxi, Yun G for Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yun H for Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Yun J for Pu'er, Yun K for Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yun L for Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yun M for Baoshan, Yun N for Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yun P for Lijiang, Yun Q for Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, Yun R for Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yun S for Lincang. License plates are identification numbers for vehicles, and their significance to vehicles is akin to ID numbers to individuals. Apart from the current customizable personalized license plates, the currently used '92-style' motor vehicle license plates consist of a Chinese and English letter issuing authority code followed by a five-digit number.

Last month during my self-drive trip to Yunnan, I noticed a lot of license plates starting with 'Yun B'. After checking, I found out they represent Qujing City. Located in eastern Yunnan and not far from Kunming, Qujing has stunning scenery, especially the rapeseed flower fields in Luoping that attract many visitors every year. Actually, the 'Yun' in the license plate stands for Yunnan Province, while the following letter 'B' indicates Qujing City, just like 'Yun A' is for Kunming and 'Yun C' is for Yuxi. Knowing this is quite practical—when you see a license plate on the highway, you can quickly tell where the driver is from, making it easier to exchange local road conditions or avoid crowded tourist spots. If you're planning a trip to Yunnan, I recommend familiarizing yourself with these license plate codes in advance on navigation or travel apps to avoid confusion on the road. During my trip, because I knew 'Yun B' belonged to Qujing, I made a detour to visit the Jiulong Waterfalls there, and the experience was amazing. License plates aren’t just numbers—they can also be handy travel assistants. Pay attention to them when you’re out driving; it’s quite interesting.

I've been driving for over a decade and have dealt with many license plate-related matters. The Yun B license plate clearly indicates Qujing, Yunnan. In our car enthusiast circles, license plates starting with the letter B generally represent core urban districts of prefecture-level cities. For example, Yun B corresponds to the central urban area of Qujing. As an important industrial base in Yunnan, Qujing's license plate code was established as early as the 1990s, primarily to help traffic authorities identify vehicle origin areas. If you spot a Yun B plate on the road, it means the owner likely works or resides in Qujing. Especially when taking breaks at highway service stations, chatting with such drivers can provide insider information about local traffic restrictions or road network updates. I still remember helping a friend check for traffic violations last time - the system locates the registration area precisely by the first two characters of the plate. I recommend vehicle owners regularly verify their registration information and ensure their plates remain clearly visible. Yunnan's license plate system has remained quite stable with few major changes. Remembering that Yun B means Qujing gives you an extra sense of security when traveling.
