Notes
入场 is a formal term often used in announcements, instructions, or news reports. It differs from simply '进入' (to enter) by focusing on the context of entering a designated place for an event or activity. Avoid confusing 入场 with 入门, which means 'to begin learning' or 'to enter a door' in a more abstract sense.
