Chinese fishing nets, also known as shore operated lift nets, are a type of stationary fishing net found in Kochi, India, and Indonesia. They are characterized by their large size, cantilever structure, and use of counterweights to operate the net. These nets are believed to have been introduced to Kochi by Chinese explorer Zheng He. Here's a more detailed explanation: Structure and Operation: Chinese fishing nets are fixed to the shore with bamboo and teak poles. A cantilever structure with a large net suspended over the water is attached to these poles. To operate the net, fishermen walk on the structure, causing it to descend into the water. Counterweights (large stones) are then used to raise the net, bringing the catch with it. Historical Significance: While often called Chinese fishing nets, these nets are more formally known as shore operated lift nets. They are a prominent feature of the Kochi shoreline and are considered a symbol of the city's historical ties with China. The nets are believed to have been introduced to Kochi by Zheng He, a Chinese explorer who visited the region in the 13th century. Tourist Attraction: The Chinese fishing nets are a popular tourist attraction in Kochi. Visitors can observe the fishermen in action and even participate in the process of raising and lowering the nets. Fishing Technique: These nets are typically operated by a team of fishermen. The nets are lowered into the water and then raised with the help of counterweights. The fish caught are then either sold at the local market or directly to customers along the waterfront. #chinesefishingnets #fishing #kochi #fortkochi #ernakulam #kerala #India #tourist #touristattraction #touristspot #travel #pics #click #photos #photography #image #fb #fbpost #facebookpost #fbpost2025 #highlights2025 #highlighteveryone #highlights #followersreels #follower #followerseveryone @highlight @followers @AEM's Ways @MAE Vision
