HSBC and HongKong's Blessed FengShui

 
The recent revelation of Malaysia being the champion of illegal capital outflow is alarming. This also brought to mind the recent claimed involvement of HSBC and other international banks in money laundering transactions. Has it got to do with its HQ’s FengShui in HongKong sitting on SanSha?
 
 
 
Let us do some ground work. HongKong (HK) is also known as fragrant harbor, are known to be a land of blessed FengShui. The Qi conduits origin from KunLun, GuiLin downward to LeiYuMun returning forming the backbone of Central HK feeding Qi towards TsimShaTsui. This illustrious formation is known as the Meridian facing its Ancestors. Even though it looks as though the harbor is protected by the circle of mountains also called the Dragon’s Well, HK is notoriously known for its typhoon. Old picture of the site where HSBC HK now sits also revealed that the Backdrop Mountains are broken in form. Not until the government reclaimed part of the land narrowing the strait, indirectly widening the bright hall of the Island that sentimental Qi begins its reign over the harbor.
 
 
 
With the water mouth locked by LeiYuMun and the other miscellaneous island, the Qi does not easily leaked away. Some HK master viewed that TsimShaTsui is a potential ShaQi being pointed towards Central and the land reclamation is timely to widen the bright hall so that its effect can be diluted. The same is also apply to where HSBC HK now sits, with the plaza often occupied by Philippines domestic workers during Sunday. Yet, many misunderstood that it is also the HSBC front door facing the open plaza but can anyone actually know where is HSBC main entrance? Not surprising it is actually the “backside” of HSBC HK, as far as FengShui is concerned.
 
 
 
Contradict to normal landform believes, Central HK is actually located at the convex side of the island which is usually associated with the sickle Sha formation but yet it is a most prosperous location within HK. Something must be damn wrong again with our understanding of landform FengShui that prosperity can only be gained in the concave side of the island which is in this case, TsimShaTsui.
 
 
 
It is very difficult to read the authentic designed FengShui components of HSBC HK, because it is done so delicately embedded with its cold mechanical theme architecture. Newbies will be extremely excited with the lion statute guarding the entrances or maybe the boom gondolas placed above the roof which looked like canons as though a FengShui war has begun. These are only minor stuff. The real stuff is annexed to the void lobbies at the ground floor with its “glass net” engulfing the upper floors with 2 penetrating escalators.
 
 
 
In a country where lands are expansive, who on earth would sacrifice such a huge space indiscriminately if it is not for the sake of FengShui? One theory state that it is to allow for the dragon god to pass through from the mountain to the water to bring in prosperity for the bank. Isn’t such grandma tales contradict the very premise of “Dragon God does not go up the mountain, Dragon God does not go down the water” principle?
 
 
 
HSBC HK continues to enjoy the prosperity designed by its FengShui master whose work is not easily viewed. Anyone would easily be tricked into believing that HSCB actually sits with its back to the mountain and the front facing the sea. That is why it is easily mistaken that SanSha is the culprit to its recent crisis.
 
So next time, any FengShui master say this and that out of their sightseeing, better think twice!
