During the summer of 2003, 16 Chinese teachers of English from Shunde studied
in Brighton, where their Sundays were times and again enjoyed on the beaches with
other crowded visitors.
Since the Prince Regent (later King George IV) first visited Brighton and
Hove in 1783, his fantastic seaside palace, the Royal Pavilion, with its Indian
domes and minarets and its Chinese style interior, has become a landmark not to
be missed. And, thanks to his influence, some of the finest examples of Regency
architecture in England can be seen in Brighton and Hove.
Adelaide Crescent and the beautiful Brunswick and Palmeira Squares open gracefully
onto the peaceful lawns of Hove giving stunning views of the sea.
Visit the Regency Town House or elegant Preston Manor, with its refined atmosphere
of an Edwardian gentry home. Enjoy traditional and modern seaside fun on the Victorian
Palace Pier. Stroll along the new-look beachfront and boardwalk with its Artists!
Quarter and Fishing Museum celebrates the resort of history as a fishing town.
