Overview
Feng Shui, or “wind & water”, is a 3,000-year-old
system of geomantic divination teaching humans how to achieve harmony
with the forces of nature and change, thereby gaining well-being and
prosperity. In
modern Hong Kong, you might have thought that feng shui would have
been dismissed as mumbo-jumbo. But not so; in fact many of the soaring
office and apartment blocks that now punctuate the skyline were
laid out in accordance with feng shui principles. The lessons of
feng shui are universal, and the supernatural “luck-bringing
energy” of the world dragons can be harnessed everywhere in
the world.
