Part 1: Hong Kong

With the different styles of Feng Shui that are contradicting with each other, how do we know which theory is the original principle? To answer this question, we must find some concrete examples to compare those different styles. And the most definite examples must be found in the ancient Chinese architectures.

When the ancient Chinese were constructing their homes and other buildings, they always consulted with a Feng Shui master. With this reason, all the original Feng Shui techniques and principles were applied to those ancient architectures.

With a very careful selection by our famous Feng Shui and ancient Chinese architecture expert – Master Issac Chung – we have chose the most appropriate buildings for the students to explore the original Feng Shui theory.

How good could a Feng Shui master be when he or she has no knowledge in the ancient Chinese architect, where the original Feng Shui comes from?

Program

Day Before Seminar	Day 1	Day 2	Day 3	Day 4	Day After Seminar
Welcome Dinner	Lantern Island – Giant Buddha and Po Lin Temple The Peak	Sam Tung Uk Museum Kat Hing Wai Villa	Wong Tai Sin Temple Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian Garden Lei Cheng Han Tomb Museum	Tang Ancestral Hall Kun Ting Study Hall Tsui Sing Lau Pagoda	Presentation Preparation Graduation Dinner

Students will be divided into groups of four or five, and will be given assignment for every site we visit. This will allow students to explore and gain more insightful knowledge about the traditional Chinese architectures and culture. At the same time, different questions will be asked to guide the students’ learning. A group presentation must be conducted at the end of the course on a visited location.

This is not a Feng Shui course, and Master Issac Chung would not answer any Feng Shui questions directly. Again, this is an ancient Chinese architecture and culture study course; and students will acquire in-depth knowledge in the traditional Chinese culture and ancient Chinese architecture practices.

The primary language of instruction will be in English. Mandarin and Cantonese will also be used.
