Feng shui literally means “wind” and “water”, the belief that heaven’s energy or qi travels on the wind and stops when it reaches water. Harmony with the environment provides a proper balance in life, promoting health and prosperity. This tour will give you an insight into age-old feng shui (geomancy) beliefs that still hold sway in modern Singapore

The tour begins with a visit to one of the foremost geomancy centres. See the tools of the trade and learn how to arrange household items, ever mindful where the “wealth position” lies. Listen to anecdotes on positive and negative qi, dragons, tigers and other celestial animals of the Chinese zodiac. Rich in symbolism, feng shui has been subtly incorporated into the orientation and design of many prominent commercial and residential buildings in Singapore. This you will see from high up an office tower in Raffles Place, the heart of the financial district , and as you survey the impressive skyline and walk by the Singapore River, try to relate these concepts to reality. Of course, some imagination helps in the learning process. Drive to Tanglin, stopping at an office block for a look at how feng shui touches can enhance building design and landscaping. The tour continues down Orchard Road, where more examples are evident among deluxe hotels and modern shopping centres. Suntec City is the last stop, for a chance to see and touch the water in its famous “Fountain of Wealth”. Water is associated with wealth, and at this fountain, the largest in the world, scores of visitors come nightly to watch its multimedia laser show and touch the effusive water. But the inner fountain will be opened specially for you to partake of this little ritual if you wish, to round off this fascinating tour. Can feng shui and the natural elements influence our life or destiny? Join the tour and form your own conclusion ….
