More pointers to the fung shui of places in Hong Kong.
Killing the dragon
Did
you know that the Japanese almost destroyed the trunk of our Kowloon dragon
during World War II?
They
dug at least two trenches about half a meter wide and two meters long to make
water flow toward their camp near Tate's Cairn Tunnel.
Luckily,
the trenches missed the critical dragon trunk spot.
Otherwise
that would have destroyed the entire fung shui of Kowloon.
No immediate prosperity
We
need to work hard for a living - there's no free lunch and no short cuts.
Often,
people mistakenly take the name for the double dragon meridian spot in yin
fung shui as the term for "immediate prosperity," but it is not so.
Lamma is not ideal
I
am sorry Lamma-ites, but the fung shui says it all. Think about it: it is the
third biggest island in Hong Kong but has the lowest population (about 7,000).
The
reason is that the southern dragon ends in Lamma Island, with little or no
dragon breath left, and therefore is unlikely to breed more population. Most
males will migrate. It is not a bad place for sightseeing, though.
Ap Lei Chau has thin dragon breath
Being
an island, it is not receptive to the funneling of the Aberdeen dragon breath.
So though many buildings seem to have a nice view, they don't have good fung
shui as certain criteria are not met. Ap Lei Chau is nothing special and so
can create nothing special.
Heng Fa Chuen is injured
Heng
Fa Chuen is unlikely to blossom because facing it are sharp edges. Such
slashing energy is unkind and difficult for Heng Fa Chuen to shake off.
Hong Kong Island rose from Tsim Sha Tsui?
Many
believe that Hong Kong Island was formed from Tsim Sha Tsui. If you look at
ancient scriptures and research the site, you can see that it wasn't. Tsim Sha
Tsui's rose finch energy sticks its tongue out toward the island.

Living standards

Here
are more practical points for readers who want to know about the best places
and environments to live and work.
Government
officials, listen up. Want to know where to live to secure your iron rice
bowl? Tregunter, Estoril Court and Fly Dragon Terrace.
Wonder why?
Because
in order to secure a good position in government, one needs good solid support
- especially a hill or mountain.
Speaking
of success at work, ever wondered how the Japanese beat the British troops in
Hong Kong during World War II?
All
they had to do was follow the dragon trail from Jardine's Lookout through the
quarries to Stanley Gap, where the British main command site was. It was this
significant route that defeated the British.
Fung
shui is all about topography. Jardine's Lookout is a mountain, and the start
of the dragon trail that leads to a significant seat of power.
Incidentally,
did you know that a Japanese fung shui master tried to capture Hong Kong's
best meridian spot but was not accurate enough during World War II? Maybe that
is why they had to surrender eventually.
What
about the ideal fung shui place to live? Many will likely disagree, but what
the heck. Hong Kong Parkview is the best place for this.
This
is rather significant since Jardine's Lookout, Violet Hill and Wong Nai Chung
Gap provide a good support for Hong Kong Parkview. Such a site is able to
harness all the kind energies.
The
ideal place to live in east Hong Kong would be Taikoo Place. That's because it
is situated at the foothills of Jardine's Lookout, Mount Butler and Mount
Parker and able to harness the kind energies.
Not-so-ideal
in terms of fung shui are Yau Tong, located between Lei Yue Mun and Lam Tin,
and Western district. These are low-lying areas that cannot sustain kind
energies and are unable to flourish. And Tiu Keng Leng will lose its momentum
after 2023.
The
worst fung shui of all, regardless of time, is possessed by Yau Tong because
of its low-lying position.

The best locations

Which are the best places to live and work in Hong Kong?
The
following listing is the result of my years of experience learning from
various masters and reading ancient books and scriptures.
Enter the dragon of Hong Kong!
In
order for readers to understand the formation of a meridian point, we must
first understand that the main trunk of a dragon terrain or body originates
from the Kun Lun Mountains or the Himalayas and the southern dragon ends in
Hong Kong.
The
first dragon emerges via Shenzhen's Wu Tong San to Hung Fa Leng. Quite
interestingly we found a unique and special tomb there inscribed in ancient
text called Le San. This tomb is very rare in the world, let alone in Hong
Kong.
Why does HSBC headquarters have best site?
The
bank is located in the focal point of the five-dragon breath, and its
harnessing of kind energies is unavoidable. The five dragons are Victoria
Peak, Lung Fu Shan, High West Hill, Mount Gough and Mount Kellet.
IFC versus the stock exchange
Another
point in fung shui is the stability of dragon breath. Exchange Square One and
Two are located in such a locale that will benefit them in the long run due to
that particular reason. One and Two IFC just miss this point, therefore, their
current glory will be short- lived due to the instability of the dragon
breath.
Why is Times Square so busy?
To
my knowledge, no book or fung shui master has ever explained why Times Square
is so busy and expensive. So here you go, you get the first insight.
You
may have heard the jargon left dragon, right tiger, rear xuanwu, front zhuque
(rose finch), but do not know the meaning. Here's the secret: where the lines
form a cross, there the best site can be found.
In
this case, draw a line from Victoria Peak to Braemar Hill and from Mount
Nicholson to Beacon Hill.
See
where it crosses? Times Square.

take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

with passion!
