Chingola

Zambia

A Zambian Copperbelt city whose economy has been shaped by copper mining since 1943, Chingola is home to the Nchanga Copper Mine and the Nchanga Open Pit, one of the largest open-cast mines in the world. The city sits within reach of water and highland terrain, and has attracted enough independent traveller interest to earn a dedicated Wikivoyage entry.
