It is always good to repeat “responsible travel” over and over. Brick kiln itself is facing so many challenges from modern life with high-tech factories. Recently, there are many cheap and quality bricks made from industrial zones, so that the local government is considering the traditional mud bricks and its cost. We do appreciate any of you who do respect and take good behavior about the culture and tradition values. Top tip: It is sad to see more and more local kilns closing these days.
