Welcome to the second edition of the writing contest. All contest entries must take place within an alternate world, a future world or a fantasy world, and must be written from the point of view of someone within that world. Entries can be in any language (a translation into English is advised, as this is an English-language forum, but not mandatory).
All entries must be turned in by noon GMT on Friday 20th December 2019.
Edit: deadline is now extended to 12 noon GMT on Friday 27th December 2019.

Your task is to write the 'blurb' for a city travel guide.
The 'blurb' can be for any platform: the back cover of a book, the description on a web-site, an introduction in a travel brochure, etc, etc.
The city can be entirely fictional or can be based on an OTL city, but if the latter there must be something AH about it (alternate history, buildings, government, nationality, whatever). Cities from fictional works are allowed, but you must credit the author.
Feel free to decorate your writing with a picture or anything else you like, but this is by no means necessary.

This thread is for entries only. Please post all questions, comments and topic proposals to the main thread.

Have fun and good luck!
