FUNG SHUI

Fung Shui, the positioning of things for good luck and happiness, is commonly practiced in Hong Kong. Literally, "Fung Shui" means wind and water. One’s life is in order if the positions of things are placed according to their relationship to wind, water, magnetic forces and directions.

Fung Shui specialists are paid for deciding where desks in offices are to be positioned for good luck. Putting mirrors, plants or a fish tank in certain places makes adjustments to a room’s Fung Shui. Many of Hong Kong’s international companies use their services.

The graves in Hong Kong cemeteries are each positioned according to the advice of a Fung Shui specialist. Each has a slightly different opinion of the best Fung Shui. The result is that each grave faces a slightly different direction.
