The parking in Chinese is indeed “停车场” (tíng chē cháng). As for your question, the fees at a parking lot typically depend on the location and duration of stay. Some common payment methods include:

  1. Coins: Many parking lots accept coins.
  2. Park-and-go machines: These machines dispense tickets or codes that are scanned upon exit.
  3. Payment apps or platforms (e.g., EasyPark, ParkMe): These often allow for mobile payments.

Regarding traffic after a show ends being difficult to leave the area:

It is common for areas around venues and entertainment districts to experience increased congestion following an event due to:

  1. Large crowds leaving simultaneously
  2. Limited road capacity in these designated areas

However, it’s usually not impossible to exit; you can try taking alternative routes or using traffic apps (e.g., Waze) to find the most efficient route.
