It is very easy to see advertising or leaflets in every corner of HCM City despite of a ban and heavier fines.

Under Decree 28/2017 issued by the government in May this year, anyone found to be hanging advertising boards on trees, electric poles or traffic lights will be fined up to VND10 million (USD439), five times higher than the previous regulation. 

Firms that use this service will also be subject to the same fine.

However, little has changed.  




 



Pham Van Tri Street in Go Vap District is full of adverts  

 


Traffic signs on Duong Quang Ham Street are also covered with advertisements  

  


 



Pham Van Dong, one of the nicest streets in HCM City, is often used to advertise real estate projects and loan services
