In 2006, I visited the so called spot. The table mountain is rather elongated bun liked shape. What do we called this? Sleeping WuQu? The height is a little too high. The left embrace is called dragon crossing bright hall, longer and extending to the table mountain. The tiger embrace is shorter and lower. Both embraces are high by any standard, however, sentimentally embracing. Water is flowing from the left to the right, quite a miss in a way, not an extend of a great water dragon, but a great water lizard instead. Usable, yes I would have thought, but re engineering required. The parent mountain, very weak. In conclusion, by any natural observation of the landforms, strictly speaking, cannot have formed a spot. Well, nobody said it is ideal, except the academy.
In 2008, I visited the very same spot, now occupy by the Earth Guardian spirit pavilion. I was there under the invitation of the agent, notably sales wasn’t that promising. I wonder why? The entire scene has been re-engineered. The table mountain has been reshaped, a more sexy look reflecting JuMen, jade pillow as what they called. The height of the embrace, table mountain has been compensated by raising the altar to an “appropriate” level. The tiger embrace has been strengthened with a building. Water dragon has been widen and no longer a lizard looking one, forced to enter into the bright hall from the left embrace. The work of genius is displayed by anchoring a building at the back of the pavilion, reflecting the missing parent mountain. That keeps me occupy for a fact, where is the crossing of the gap, almost unseen or if there is any in the first place? I really can’t tell. The re engineering effect is neat and I keep wondering at what cost and at what sort of promises that had been made to produce the desired effect for the entire sanctuary? Only time would tell.
Coincidentally, I bump into the so called split dragon rock at the incoming water location. Next, while this blog is penned, I bump into another blog that speaks about the same split rock, meaningful coincident I called. Not quite a good omen. It reflects that the veins had been severed and I wonder which part of it? The site in question or the opposite one. It however did not face in the axis of the opposite site, which is almost flattened and this may mean that the damages are done, beyond cure. The good news is there is another on left intact.
So as I was looking for the moolah from the moosti spot, I really found nothing but a prefabricated one. Yet within a prefabricated one, I found a real moosti laying on the opposite site. At least the moolah has been found, all I need is to get to the moosti. Any hope?

The photos in your blog look so different.

Hi MT,
Good observation. I hope you enjoy the short trip. It does really make a whole lots of different as compared to what you would learn in class. The "Tuo Peh Kong" shrine is quite a good reflection of what a dragon spot should be, although it is not yet a perfect one. As explained, you could notice how the uses building and molding of the earth to "repair" the state of the spot. It should have been found naturally without much rectification. On another note, we spend almost an hour at that spot itself, as you can see there are a lot of things to be seen, not just the "char siew pow". Each has to be evaluated individually, then combined together to divine for that spot. That is the art.
Warmest Regards
Hi David
Many thanks for the trip. Now I can see something, still not a lot, but something.
The split rock, aka Dragon Rock, certainly looks interesting. I think it has been split some time ago in ancient history. It was deliberately split open and was definitely not done by the forces of nature. My guess is that it has been sliced by some kind of futuristic laser tool about several thousand years ago and after that the weathering from the rain gave the split surface a rougher hewn feel today.
Some earth movement has caused a bit of a rotation of the two halves and thus the top portion of the gap is wider than the bottom of the gap. For that to happen, the split would have to occur all the way through to the bottom of the rock and not just the top half. Why would anyone wish to split a rock? The only reason I can think of is that it was used to make some kind of ancient electrical capacitor and then discarded.
Regards
MT,
It is so co-incident that the author has pen something about the dragon rock, we visited. Goto http://harmony-living.blogspot.com

After coming back from the trip, I walked over to the Curve. There was a courtyard which I think serve as some form of internal Ming Tang. There was a water fountain in the courtyard, where Big Apple Donuts and Coffee is situated. Isn't a ming tang supposed to be quiet without water?
Ha! you see... now you are opening your eye big-big! 1 trip is better then 10 classes. Yes, internal bright hall.Remember the verse, heavenly heart moves, 9 palaces altered. You figure out the rest...
Good Hunting
The mooolah from the moosti will come...takes a bit of transforming indirect resource to direct...if at all possible in the bazi world. :-)
