Douala is Cameroon's largest city and its economic and commercial capital, home to approximately 3.8 million residents. It shares West Africa Time (WAT, UTC+1) with Yaoundé. Though Yaoundé is Cameroon's political capital, Douala is its economic heart — the Port of Douala is the principal port for Cameroon and a critical transit hub for the landlocked countries of Chad, Central African Republic, and parts of Niger. The city generates about 60% of Cameroon's GDP and 80% of tax receipts. Douala sits on the Wouri River estuary and is one of West-Central Africa's most important commercial centres. The city's Akwa neighbourhood is the commercial heart, while Bonanjo houses government and diplomatic offices. Mount Cameroon (4,040m), West Africa's highest peak and one of Africa's most active volcanoes, is visible from Douala on clear days, rising dramatically from near sea level. Cameroon's proximity to the equator and the Gulf of Guinea created one of Africa's most productive fishing coastlines.
