Master's Guide: Kwun Tong Feng Shui Overview, How to Choose in Period 9?

As Hong Kong enters Period 9 (2024 to 2043), many property buyers and business owners are beginning to re-examine the feng shui landscapes of various districts. As the core of Kowloon East, Kwun Tong has transformed in recent years from an industrial area into a central business district (CBD2), with its feng shui value rising accordingly. This article will provide an in-depth analysis of Kwun Tong's feng shui advantages and explore how to seize opportunities during Period 9.

1. Overview of Kwun Tong's History

Kwun Tong's history stretches back far, with its earliest origins traceable to the Northern Song Dynasty, when this area served as an official salt field named "Guan Fu Cheung," managed by salt officials dispatched by the imperial court. The salt field gave the area the name "Guan Fu," later colloquially referred to as "Guan Tong" (derived from the meaning of the Guan Fu salt pond).

By the 1950s, the government began large-scale land reclamation, developing Kwun Tong into Hong Kong's first satellite town and major industrial zone. Since new residents at the time disliked the character "Guan" (official), it was renamed "Kwun Tong." From its days as a salt field to an industrial hub, and now to today's modern commercial district, Kwun Tong has always carried an extremely strong "wealth-generating" energy field.

2. Kwun Tong District Area

In modern administrative planning, the Kwun Tong district covers a considerable area, including Kowloon Bay, Ngau Tau Kok, Kwun Tong Town Centre, Sau Mau Ping, Lam Tin, and Yau Tong. Its geographical location is excellent, situated on the eastern side of Kowloon, facing the eastern district of Hong Kong Island across the harbour, serving as an important transport hub connecting Kowloon and the eastern New Territories (such as Tseung Kwan O).

3.1 Dragon Vein Direction: From Beacon Hill to Lei Yue Mun

From a broader perspective, Kwun Tong's dragon vein originates from Kowloon Peak (Fei Ngo Shan) in the Kowloon mountain range (an extension of the Kowloon Peak dragon vein). This dragon vein extends southward to the Lei Yue Mun area, forming a powerful backing mountain. In feng shui terms, Kwun Tong possesses the formation of "Left Green Dragon embracing Kwun Tong, White Tiger receiving reverse water," with mountains encircling and water embracing, favourable for gathering qi and accumulating wealth. Although the Anderson Road (Tai Shek To) area once appeared as "chaotic rocks" due to quarrying, previously considered a major feng shui drawback, as this area has been redeveloped into residential zones, the earth energy has gradually improved.

3.2 Water Dragon Layout: Receiving Southwest Incoming Water, Embracing Period 9 Prosperity

Feng shui philosophy states "mountains govern people, water governs wealth." Kwun Tong faces Victoria Harbour, with an excellent water dragon energy field. During Period 9, Kwun Tong can receive the water dragon power moving northeast from Hong Kong Island's North Point, forming an excellent wealth position. Kwun Tong's ability to receive southwest incoming water makes this layout particularly advantageous for embracing prosperous energy during Period 9, significantly helping to enhance regional prosperity.

3.3 Commercial District (Former Industrial Area): Transforming Sha for Business Success

The feng shui of Kwun Tong's commercial district (the former industrial area) will continue to thrive. Particularly the Hoi Yuen Road area, described as a "golden cross key ring," can transform sha into business momentum when combined with appropriate layouts. With the government's "Start-up Kowloon East" initiative transforming the Kwun Tong industrial area into the Kwun Tong Trade & Industrial Area, many multinational corporations and bank headquarters have established presence, further consolidating its status as a "wealth treasury."

3.4 Residential Area Analysis: New and Old Alternation, Locking Prosperous Qi

The development of Kwun Tong and its surrounding residential areas is also highly noteworthy:

Kwun Tong New Property Developments

• Yue Man Square and Grand Central: The Yue Man Square redevelopment project is the heart of Kwun Tong. Feng shui experts believe that the redeveloped layout (such as Grand Central and related shopping malls) can lock in prosperous qi, reconcentrating the originally scattered energy field of the town centre.
• Anderson Road (On Tai Estate, On Tat Estate): Although this area was previously affected by quarrying, with large-scale vegetation restoration and the completion of public and private housing, this district is becoming a new residential cluster with high earth energy.
• Lam Tin and Yau Tong New Developments:
  • Koko Hills (Lam Tin): Near Lam Tin MTR station, backed by mountain ranges, with practical floor areas ranging from 345 sq ft to 2,024 sq ft, making it a higher-quality choice in the district.
  • Chill Residence (Yau Tong): Located at Ko Chiu Road, offering 634 units, near the Yau Tong development area.
  • The Coast Line (Yau Tong): Developed by Cheung Kong, comprising two phases with a total of 4 towers, offering 886 units. Its geographical location allows for a more direct experience of Victoria Harbour's water dragon prosperous energy.

4. Conclusion: Ideal Choice for Property and Business in Period 9

In summary, Kwun Tong remains a key area for government development and transformation. With continuous improvements in transport infrastructure (such as the MTR Kwun Tong Line and future developments) and large-scale urban renewal, the district is experiencing sustained prosperity.

During Period 9, the northeast position (including Kowloon East) enjoys favourable timing and geographical advantages. Whether considering property for settlement or seeking a business location, Kwun Tong, with its "mountains encircling and water embracing" formation and ability to "lock in prosperous qi," is undoubtedly one of the most ideal choices in the urban area.
