Madang, the capital of Papua New Guinea's Madang Province, is located on the northern coast of the island and is known as the "Garden of the Pacific" with its stunning coastline on the Bismarck Sea. With a pleasant climate and an average annual temperature of around 27°C, this beach town is surrounded by coral reefs, rainforests and volcanic landscapes, making it a popular destination for diving, snorkeling and eco-tourism, and is rich in ecological resources. Economically, Madang relies on fishing, coconut farming and a small amount of tourism, and the local market is full of Papuan aboriginal handicrafts and tropical fruits. As a multicultural place with a predominantly Torres Strait community, Madang is a window into Papua New Guinea's coastal culture with traditional dances and festivals that are full of local flavor.
