Chinese Fishing Net Cheena Vala Fisherman in Cochin, India

Cochin, also called Kochi, India is a modern city of two million. However, the best known area for tourism is Fort Kochi. Here you’ll find Chinese fishing nets that started in the 14th century. They consist of a giant cantilever that suspends a large net, lowers it into the sea and then raises it again by ropes. You can buy the fresh fish and crustaceans, most of which are still wiggling in colorful bowls. These two fishermen are taking a rest from the exhausting work of raising and lowering the huge boulders that operate the cantilevers.
