Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan — Home Feng Shui: Case 28 Residential Properties Near Dangerous Locations

In modern urban planning, residential areas are often intertwined with various public facilities and industrial amenities. From a feng shui perspective, any building with a special function (such as chemical plants, hospitals, prisons, police stations, or temples) continuously radiates extreme energy fields with specific attributes. If a residence unfortunately neighbors these “dangerous and inauspicious places,” its internal living magnetic field will inevitably be severely distorted.

• Dangerous and Inauspicious Locations (Inauspicious)

  If a house is near chemical plants, hazardous material warehouses, gas stations, police stations, temples, or prisons, it should be considered inauspicious. Hong Kong Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan points out that chemical plants and gas stations are filled with violent, fiery, dry qi and harmful chemical toxins (belonging to solitary yang sha). Prisons, temples, and hospitals, on the other hand, accumulate heavy resentment, yin qi, and solitary qi (belonging to solitary yin sha). Police stations carry a strong,肅殺之氣 (austere and killing qi). A residence constantly surrounded by these extreme magnetic fields will inevitably suffer from an imbalance of yin and yang.

• River Facing the Main Door (Inauspicious)

  A river facing the main door is highly inauspicious, leading to financial loss. Many mistakenly believe that “seeing water brings wealth.” However, if the main door opens directly to a turbulent, relentless, and straight-flowing river (especially a merciless反弓河 (reverse bow river) or直冲河 (straight-rushing river)), its strong water qi will directly drain the cohesive energy within the residence, causing wealth to flow away like water.

• Single Sha Form in Front of the Door (Inauspicious)

  Seeing a tree, pagoda, or utility pole, as well as experiencing a road rush or alleyway rush, upon opening the door, are all considered highly inauspicious. These upright, sharp, or straight external structures pointing directly at the main door act like “poison arrows” and “piercing heart sha” in feng shui, continuously penetrating the bright hall's protective barrier of the home.

• Physical and Mental Trauma, Legal Troubles

  Families living near prisons or gas stations often find their members developing extreme personalities, either overly timid or violently aggressive, and are highly prone to legal disputes.

• Sudden Financial Ruin and Accidents

  Residences facing a road rush, alleyway rush, or a rapidly flowing river are highly susceptible to major sudden car accidents, accidental injuries, and devastating financial losses in business.

• Constructing a Complete Feng Shui Defensive Shield

  Facing such complex and adverse external sha forms, Hong Kong Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan recommends installing a high-grade Dragon God Seat (龙神座) or Mountain-Sea Shield (山海镇) at the main door or on the windowsill facing the source of the sha qi. This will powerfully block the surrounding solitary yang and solitary yin sha qi.

• Tai Shan Shi Gan Dang to Mitigate Road Rushes

  For straight-on road rushes or alleyway rushes, it is essential to erect a sturdy stone carving of “Tai Shan Shi Gan Dang” (泰山石敢当) at the focal point of the rush, or plant a row of evergreen bamboo. By utilizing the thick earth and wood attributes of the five elements, these measures forcefully intercept and divert the violent feng shui poison arrows rushing directly towards the property.
