Columbus is a Dutch travel magazine that regularly devotes articles to lesser known cities (in the eyes of most Westerners). This is an announcement from the editor, Mark Mackintosh:

For our fall edition, we'd like locals to tell us where to go and what to do when in Beijing.

If you'd like to contribute to the article, please send an email to mmackintosh@columbusmagazine.nl, answering the following questions:

• what's your favorite neighborhood or street in Beijing and why?
• what's your favorite place to relax?
• what's your favorite restaurant or bar?
• what's your favorite market?

Please include address details where applicable.

Also, please tell us a little bit about yourself:

• your name
• your age
• your profession/job
• the neighborhood you live in

Contributors will, of course, receive a copy of the edition they're featured in.
