Mount HagenMount Hagen is the third largest city in Papua New Guinea, and the capital of the Western Highlands Province. It is a bustling commercial centre where wealth from coffee and tea plantations has brought rapid change to traditional life style. Old and new ways live curiously together, not always harmoniously. Mt Hagen has a reputation as the "Wild frontier" of the Highlands. Due to it's climate, Mt Hagen and surrounding areas grow an abundance of fresh vegetables, which can be purchased from the local markets on a Saturday morning. The national highway runs through the town and many local traders often take their goods to sell in Madang and Lae.
