Chinese license plates are, of course, "license plates with Chinese characteristics," so they each have a Chinese character on them. These characters typically stand for provinces or municipalities, but sometimes the province-character relationship is less than obvious. In this Chinese lesson, a foreigner gets his Chinese license plate education.
