The parking lots around the Dongjing Yishu Square area were packed with cars. Due to the large number of people, many people are willing to send it, despite being "chopped off" in spontaneous parking lots.

The closer the locations are to the square, the higher the fare. Noting the fact, in many places, the price of parking motorbikes is up to 80,000 VND/vehicle, 8 times higher than normal days.
