The Chinese Fishing Nets are one of the most iconic sights in Kochi. These huge wooden structures stand along the shore and are still used for traditional fishing. They were introduced centuries ago, believed to be by traders from China, which is why they are called Chinese nets.
Visitors can watch the fishermen operate these nets, pulling them down into the water and lifting them up to catch fish. The process is slow but interesting, and sometimes tourists can even help operate the nets. During sunset, the nets form a beautiful view against the orange sky, making it a perfect spot for photography.
There are small seafood stalls nearby where travelers can enjoy freshly cooked fish. The smell of the sea, the sound of the waves, and these traditional fishing nets create a unique and unforgettable experience.
