Did Feng Shui Stop Chongqing Construction?
Sunday, October 31st, 2010
Sort of a weird story, where it is reported that construction in Chongqing was stopped by an official concern for the effects of the new construction on the feng shui of existing Government buildings:
A RECORDING clip on the Internet allegedly showing a government official talking about fengshui has sparked controversy as it seemed to suggest the construction of a building was halted because the official believed it would disturb the fengshui of a nearby government compound.
Several versions of the recording have been uploaded onto the Internet. In the longest recording, lasting 31 minutes, a man alleged to be Wang Yinfeng, Party chief of Jiangjin district in south-west China’s Chongqing Municipality, said the under-construction building would block the government building and asked men said to be representatives from the real estate companies: ‘Do you know what fengshui is?’
