M75***02:“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.”
小 狮 子:“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. 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!

小欣:“Westminster Abbey, a truly exquisite example of medieval architectural sculpture, feels like stepping into a profound historical scroll. Known as the "Spire of Honor," it is the burial or memorial site of numerous prominent British and international politicians, scientists, and writers, including Newton, Darwin, and Dickens. Carrying the rich history and cultural heritage of Britain, Westminster Abbey has witnessed the rise and fall of the British royal family and the nation's development, holding a unique and significant position within the Commonwealth.”

Anonymous user:“The meeting point was clearly marked and easy to find. There were a lot of tourists, so we lined up for ticket verification and were divided into groups. Our tour guide was a lovely, chubby Italian woman. She patiently explained the situation and first took us to the Changing of the Guard. Since there were a lot of tourists, she then took us to Buckingham Palace Square, through the park, and explained that there would be another Changing of the Guard there later, along with an equestrian display. We were then led to the entrance of Buckingham Palace, where we had a self-guided tour, with free guidebooks (in Chinese).”

M75***02:“When you come to London, you must go to the London Eye, especially at night when the lights of the London Eye change color, which is very beautiful. Tickets for the London Eye must be booked in advance. On a sunny day, you can clearly see the Thames, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Tower Bridge, Millennium Bridge, and the Shard from the London Eye.”
