Old brick kiln, a new check-in destination in Hoi An - Vietnam
The Quang Nam old brick kiln is a new check-in place for photo lovers thanks to its unique background, which might give you a sense of traveling abroad.
The old brick kiln which lies in Cam Kim, Duy Vinh, Hoi An city, Quang Nam province is now a very sought-after place for young people. Simply an old forgotten brick kiln, the place offers beautiful backgrounds for photo hunters, from which you might feel you're in a European country, not in Vietnam.
Under the creativity of young people, the old, mossy stairways of the brick kiln turns into a stairway that leads to the heaven, from which one could seemingly feel the white cloud and touch the sky.
