Abong-Mbang is the main city of the Eastern Region of Cameroon, located about 200 kilometers east of the capital city of Yaoundé, on the banks of the Nyong River. As the capital of the Upper Nyong Province, the city is an important transportation hub connecting the eastern and central regions of Cameroon and has a population of about 25,000 people.
Located in the tropical rainforest region, Abong Mbang has a hot and humid climate and is surrounded by dense forests that produce cocoa, coffee and timber. Agriculture is the mainstay of the local economy, and there is also small-scale gold mining. The city is surrounded by several nature reserves and is an important area for biodiversity research.
The population is predominantly Mboi and Kokaka, and retains a wealth of traditional customs and festivals. A weekly open-air market is the center of local social life, attracting neighboring villagers to trade agricultural products and handicrafts. Although the infrastructure is relatively simple, the city has a hospital, schools and basic commercial services.
