The city is small in size and relatively simple in infrastructure, but as the regional administrative center, it undertakes commercial services and administrative functions for the surrounding areas. The local culture is deeply influenced by the Fang and other tribes, with traditional handicrafts and folklore activities remaining intact, while the natural landscape is characterized by primitive forests and rivers, rich in ecological resources, and is one of the windows to the interior of Equatorial Guinea.
