Feng Shui Significance of License Plates: The Belief in Good Luck

Vietnamese people often value spiritual elements. Choosing a license plate is often based on beliefs about luck and fortune.

For example:

• Lucky numbers: 39, 79 (big and small fortune gods) are believed to bring financial luck.
• Ascending numbers: 68, 86 (prosperity) symbolize development and advancement.
• Quadruple numbers: License plates with four identical numbers are considered beautiful and signify luck and power.

However, according to Mr. Nguyen Van A, a feng shui expert in Hanoi, “evaluating whether a license plate is good or bad depends on many other factors such as the five elements and the owner’s destiny. Don’t get too caught up in spiritual beliefs and forget about safety when participating in traffic.”
