Hong Kong skyscrapers have one radical difference to similiar buildings around the world – they have holes in it! If you think rationally you would guess that its made to improve wind resistance. But Chineese philosophy experts know the real reason behind it:
The locals believe that their city prospers because of dragons! They come down from the mountains to drink water. If the coastline is covered with skyscrapers the way to the water for dragons will be obstructed and this will bring bad luck. This is why the building companies make
big holes when designing the buildings. Make way for the dragons!
