Beijing has forbidden advertising boards in main tourist areas and around the government area to tidy the city and improve safely.

The new regulation, made known on Wednesday, could affect foreign ad­vertising companies. Business from ad­vertising boards is ex­pected to gain a large increase in the-lead-up to the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. The Beijing Morning  Post newspaper reported no advertisements were allowed within 200 meters of gov­ernment offices, protected historic and cultural sites, embassies (大使館) or the offices of international organizations.

Also on the list of forbidden areas are Tiananmen Square, the government compound at Zhongnanhai, the city's center Changan Avenue be­tween Fuxingmen and Jianguomen, the Forbidden City and the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse . Company sign­boards on buildings or roofs are also banned in the areas.

It also puts greater controls on pylons (標(biāo)桿) holding large hoardings around the Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park, the Central Business District in eastern Bering—where the World Trade Centre is located—the new Olympic area, any popular tourist places or along the route that visiting VIPs follow from the airport to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

Adverts on buildings taller than 24 meters, residential buildings, municipal facilities and public transport will also be   forbidden. Museums, galleries, schools, stadiums and traditional build­ings with decorated roofs will follow suit .
