HK4 -- Feng shui and the flight paths of dragons

In the foreground of this photo is the skyline of central Hong Kong, as viewed from halfway up the peak. The close proximity of mountains and the sea are truly awe-inspiring to my mind, having been brought up in the USA's midwest whose features include the Great Lakes and such idiosyncratic topography as kettles and dells. I am from a land shaped by glaciers... Hong Kong it seems was shaped by volcanos.

The city's architecture is influenced by feng shui masters (or so said our driver Jackie when we hired a car one day to show us around). He told us of the dragons who live in the mountains and each day fly down to the harbour for a drink. Buildings have been built with the flight paths of the dragons in mind because the last thing you want is a dragon smashing into your building. One hotel (on the south side of the island) has a huge square cut out of the middle for the dragon to pass through, which brings luck to the building and its inhabitants.
And here is the harbour, with water like dragon-nectar. It is taken from our hotel room window in central Hong Kong, with views across the harbour to Kowloon. Although not explicit in this photograph, this is one of the busiest harbours I've seen... even more action than Sydney's famous harbour. The best part is the extreme variety of vessels we saw: ferries, small cruise ships, barges with cranes, junk boats, and so many others (to attempt to describe them would only exhibit my ignorance of watercraft).

Every night at 8 pm, many of the buildings of Hong Kong participate in a light show, coordinating patterns of flickering lights of varying colours. It lasts about 15 minutes. I wondered if it was somehow set to music, but I never heard anything that matched what I was seeing.. and my attempts to compose a private soundtrack to the sporatic flashes proved futile. It seems you'd have a better vantage point from outside the city centre, or flying over in an airplane. Perhaps it is for the amusement of the dragons on their flights home to the mountain peaks.
