It is worth a visit. The palace is very luxurious and exquisite not only at that time but also now. The Chinese elements are very shocking. Among the many castles and palaces in Europe, the Chinese elements are the main ones. You can also see the wallpaper, furniture and porcelain customized in Guangzhou, China at that time.
Beautiful place to visit , we were able to take lots of photos but they dont do the place justice. Its vibrant and full of interesting patterns, colours and textures. What a gorgeous building !

London's back garden? No, it's the unique Brighton!
It's definitely worth it! Especially for those who want to experience the alternative British style, escape from the city or love seaside art.
1. Highlights
1. Seven Sisters White Cliffs: Hiking in the national park, the cliff coastline is magnificent and picturesque, and the photo-taking rate is off the charts!
2. Rebellious Soul Brighton Palace: A luxurious royal palace with a mix of oriental styles, subverting your imagination of British palaces.
3. Creative Heart North Laine: The maze-like alleys are full of antique shops, designer buyers' shops, and specialty cafes, a paradise for bargain hunters.
4. Free beach atmosphere: pebble beaches, colorful huts, pier playgrounds, and sea breezes are all about relaxation and vitality.
5. 1 hour direct from London, unlock the most "unorthodox" and charming seaside city in Britain!
6. Two highly recommended and worthwhile restaurants: Japan: O'Shio! Seafood: The Salt Room
I went here back last year in September with some friends for an extended weekend, Brighton certainly has a lot of nice nightlife and sights to see.

One of the best piers in the South of England. There is lots to do with tons of seaside rides, fun arcade games and food. Highly recommend catching the sunset here and if you’re lucky you might catch the starlings dancing at dusk, I didn’t know they do this and it was the most spectacular striking and stunning natural phenomenon I had seen, it was mesmerising. Highest chances of seeing the starlings dance is between November-March, we visited in early March
Brighton Pier is very lively. There is an amusement park at the end. It feels like a very cheerful beach. The pier is very beautiful, with a long boardwalk. Especially at night, the neon lights of the amusement park are turned on and the joy is overwhelming. During the day, seagulls take off around, and the scene is very photogenic. In short, this is a scenic spot that you will never forget after seeing it once.

loved the view from the top but the whole experience finishes kind of quick.
The Brighton i360 offers a truly unique perspective of this vibrant seaside city. Soaring gracefully into the sky, the enclosed pod provides breathtaking 360-degree views of Brighton, the South Downs, and the sparkling English Channel. It's a tranquil and elegant way to appreciate the beauty of the coast.

more like a downtown touristy place with many cafes and cosmetic shops. very easy to get lost while looking for some place on maps. almost did when i was lookong for Mac cosmetics...you will find Jo Malone, Bobby Brown and Mac cosmetics all in one small area. and coffee shops too. on my second attempt i was looking for pizza express and i almost missed it. hehehh the lanes is one place that gets you wondering what exactly is going on with your maps application. definately recomend you to not miss it while in brighton. on your way to lanes you will meet Tmax the famous brand discount shop and boy, you will thank me then.
After visiting the Royal Pavilion, we came here to look for lunch. At first, we didn't realize that we had entered the alley area, but later we saw the graffiti map of the alley area and realized that we had arrived at a popular place. The overall impression was average. There were many shops selling rings, but we didn't have any shopping needs in this area, so we walked around the alley area very quickly. The restaurants here are also popular, but a bit too touristy. Some of them have Chinese menus, which doesn't feel so authentic.
