The average green area is currently about 11.2m²/person, approaching the standards of a type I urban area according to regulations.

Urban beautification work is regularly deployed by Mong Cai City.

Environmental sanitation is also given special attention by the city. The city actively implements models of civilized neighborhoods and "green - clean - beautiful - no waste" streets. General environmental sanitation activities on weekends have become a routine in many neighborhoods. In residential groups, mass organizations such as women's unions, youth unions, veterans' associations, etc. play a role in monitoring and mobilizing people to maintain hygiene from alleys, residential areas to public places. Inner-city areas and central streets are all watered with water to wash the streets; garbage is collected daily, ensuring that no residue is left to cause pollution.

Mr. Hoang Ba Nam, Secretary of Mong Cai City Party Committee, said: To realize this goal, the city reviewed all indicators and criteria of a class I urban area to focus resources and intelligence to come up with effective solutions. In particular, Mong Cai focuses on completing infrastructure; completing strategic plans on construction and landscape architecture to create a truly clean and civilized urban environment. At the same time, focusing on building Mong Cai urban culture on the foundation of Mong Cai people being very friendly and civilized as a strategy for socio-economic development.
