The centre announced a free parking programme from September 20 to the end of November, from 5:00 to 22:00 every day.
After that, parking fees will be charged from 20,000 VND (0.82 USD) to 25,000 VND (1 USD) for each hour and up to 1.5 million VND a month for a car while motorbike parking fees will be charged from 3,000-6,000 per vehicle.
