Description:

The first characters that most people encounter when they come to China are the characters on license plates.

Like license plates in other countries, Chinese license plates identify the region of the country from which they come with an abbreviation. However, not all of these abbreviations are straightforward -- i.e., the abbreviation for Shanghai is neither 'shang' nor 'hai,' but rather 'hu.'

This application is for people who are curious what those characters on license plates mean. You can look up the character, learn the pronunciation of the character (in pinyin) and tap through to Wikipedia and Baidu Baike pages on the region that character represents.
