For thousands of years this spot along the Indian Ocean has drawn seafaring trade to the canals and the waterways. The Romans made their way here and the Chinese first came here as far back ad the time of Kulai Khan. Pepper cardamom cinnamon cloves flowed out the harbour here headed first to China and the Arab world. As you enter Cochin from the water you can see the giant tent like Chinese fishing nets that have come to symbolize the city but on land it influences of many cultures are visible.
