Chinese fishing nets(Cheena vala)are a type of stationary lift net in India. They are fishing nets that are fixed land installations for fishing. While commonly known as Chinese fishing nets in India, the more formal name for such nets is shore operated lift nets. Huge mechanical contrivances hold out horizontal nets of 20m or more across. Each structure is at least 10m high and comprises a cantilever with an outstretched net suspended over the sea and large stones suspended from ropes as counterweights at the other end which is operated by a team of up to six fishermen. While such nets are used throughout coastal southern China and Indochina, in India they are mostly found in the Indian cities of Kochi and Kollam, where they have become a tourist attraction. This way of fishing is unusual in India and almost unique to the area, as it was introduced by Chinese explorers who landed there in the 14th century. Indeed, one interpretation of city name Kochi is ‘co-chin', meaning like China

Amazing Shopping Tour with Shihab in Kochi! We had a fantastic shopping experience in Kochi with Shihab from Legendary Kochi Tuk Tuk Tour. This was much more than just a shopping trip — Shihab helped us discover some wonderful local shops and experience the real shopping culture of Kochi. We started with the Spice Market, which was one of our favourite parts of the tour. There was such a wonderful variety of Kerala spices, including pepper, cardamom, cinnamon and other traditional products. Shihab explained the different spices and helped us understand their importance in Kerala's history and culture. It was a great place to buy authentic local spices to take home. We also visited some lovely fabric and textile shops, where we found beautiful Kerala fabrics, traditional clothing and colourful materials. Shihab was very helpful and gave us enough time to look around without feeling rushed. He also helped us communicate with the shopkeepers and made the whole experience much easier. Another highlight was visiting the souvenir shops. We found many beautiful gifts and local handicrafts to take home for our family and friends. There were so many interesting things to choose from, and Shihab helped us find items that were genuinely connected to Kerala and Kochi. What we appreciated most was Shihab's local knowledge. He knows the area very well and understands what tourists are looking for. He was friendly, honest and patient throughout the shopping tour. We never felt pressured, and he made sure we had a relaxed and enjoyable experience. If you want to buy spices, fabrics, traditional Kerala products, souvenirs and gifts while visiting Kochi, we highly recommend doing a shopping tour with Shihab. It is a great way to explore the local markets and shops while also learning more about Kochi's culture. Thank you, Shihab, for making our shopping experience so easy, enjoyable and memorable. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Fort Kochi!

He showed us some of the most beautiful and interesting places around Fort Kochi and Mattancherry and also shared stories and information about the history and culture of the area. Shaheer was very patient, kind and made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour. He also took us to some lovely local spots that we probably wouldn’t have discovered on our own. The tuk-tuk tour was definitely one of the highlights of our Kochi trip. If you’re visiting Fort Kochi or Mattancherry, I would highly recommend taking a tour with Shaheer. He is a genuinely lovely person and a great guide. Thank you, Shaheer, for making our day so memorable! 🛺❤️
