Dschang

Dschang

      town located in northwestern Cameroon, situated on a forested plateau northwest of Yaoundé. Its high elevation of 4,525 feet (1,379 metres) makes the town a health and tourist resort, despite communications difficulties caused by rugged terrain and high levels of precipitation. It is also a local trade centre for agricultural products and livestock. In the vicinity there are experimental plantations growing Cinchona (plants whose bark yields quinine), an experimental station for processing green tea, and a hydroelectric power plant. Bauxite deposits are located nearby at Fongo Tongo, and there is a small brick-making industry. Dschang is served by a hospital, an agricultural college, and an airfield. Pop. (2001 est.) 87,000.
