More than dinner – it’s connection (Source: Internet)Imagine this: after a breathtaking day cycling through rice fields, cruising between limestone peaks on a bamboo boat, and exploring ancient temples, you sit down at a long wooden table under fairy lights with 12–16 fellow solo travelers from around the world. Platters of crispy spring rolls, goat meat hotpot, fragrant rice, and fresh herbs straight from the garden arrive one after another. Laughter fills the air. Someone passes the rice wine. By the end of the night, you’ve made friends you’ll travel with for the rest of your Vietnam journey.
This is not just dinner.
This is the Legend Travel Group Social Dinner Experience in Ninh Binh – the moment most of our guests say changed their entire trip.
Every evening during your Ninh Binh stay with Legend Travel Group, we organize a different family-style social dinner:
Night 1 – Goat Meat Village Feast
Local specialty: mountain goat grilled with lemongrass, served with wild herbs and rice wine. Hosted at a 200-year-old limestone house.
