If you think hunter-gatherer societies didn’t plan large-scale, intentional settlements that stood the test of time, you’ve never looked at the 3,700-year-old Poverty Point earthworks in northeast Louisiana. This feng shui analysis of the Monumental Earthworks of Poverty Point breaks down how the site’s alignment to universal feng shui principles—from landform placement to cosmic solstice tracking—supported 600 years of peaceful, prosperous occupation for the communities that built and lived there.

If you’ve ever gawked at the floating Hallelujah Mountains in Avatar, you’ve already seen a fictionalized version of Wulingyuan Scenic Area—one of the most naturally auspicious feng shui sites on the planet. 武陵源风景名胜区风水分析 (Wulingyuan Scenic Area Feng Shui Analysis) breaks down the site’s natural landforms, qi flow, and alignment with ancient feng shui principles to make the case that it’s one of the world’s most auspicious unmodified natural landscapes. Those 3,000+ jagged quartz sandstone pillars piercing the cloud layer? They’ve stood untouched for 380 million years—long before feng shui practitioners first codified landform assessment rules 2,000 years ago.

When a 7.0-magnitude quake slammed northern Sichuan in 2017, geologists and tourism officials alike feared Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area’s iconic turquoise lakes and thundering cascades were gone for good. Instead, the site recovered 95% of its pre-quake features in just three years, and drew nearly 5 million visitors in 2023 alone.

Last October, I huddled on Huangshan’s Bright Summit at 5 a.m., numb-fingered and half-frozen, watching a sea of cotton-white clouds roll over 72 jagged granite peaks as the sun painted the ridges soft taffy pink.

This 黄山风水分析 pulls from on-site measurements, 1,000+ years of historical texts, and publicly available demographic data to unpack why this mountain is one of the most studied natural feng shui landmarks on Earth. ...

63 million people trek to the Great Wall every single year, and if you asked 99% of them what it was built for, they’d say the same thing: to repel northern nomadic invasions. They’re only half right. Introduction to the Great Wall’s Feng Shui Legacy Military defense alone can’t explain why the wall follows that winding, ridge-hugging route, when a straight line across flat plains would have been far cheaper and easier to defend. 长城风水分析 reveals geomancy was a core design consideration from the very first segments built during the Qin Dynasty in 221 BCE, not a decorative afterthought added by later dynasties. A 2021 Peking University Department of History study of Qin Dynasty military engineering archives found that imperial geomancers were assigned to every wall construction crew, with final approval of route alignments resting with senior feng shui practitioners rather than military commanders. Our analysis draws on both 形势派 (Form School, which focuses on landforms and qi flow) and 理气派 (Compass School, which focuses on directional alignment and timing) principles, paired with historical records of construction outcomes, to break down the wall’s geomantic design. We’ll also translate its large-scale principles into actionable tips you can apply to your own living space, no ancient construction crew required. ...
