The Feng Shui in Kuching

The city of Kuching has several unique features that are both natural and built recently.

Topographical: The natural landscape surrounding Kuching, including hills, mountains, and valleys, may influence the Feng Shui of the area. The most important are the Mountains at the back (South) and the Water in front (South China Sea to the North). There are some hills at the side. Together, they form the most important Feng Shui configuration - the armchair configuration.

1. The Sarawak River: The City is built around the Sarawak River. The water in the river carries the energy from the hills and is distributed throughout the city. This river adds character and beauty to the city.

• City Layout: The layout of Kuching, including the arrangement of buildings, streets, and landmarks, impacts the flow of Qi (energy). The well-planned urban designs promote smooth traffic flow and pedestrian accessibility that contribute to a harmonious environment.

• Kuching Barrage: It is accepted that the flow of river water brings wealth to the city. However, the unregulated outflow of this water can bring the loss of wealth from the city. The Kuching barrage regulates the water flow from the Sarawak River. This assists the city to maintain and build up its wealth.

• Golden Anniversary Bridge: This unique curved 330-metre pedestrian bridge is near the Astana Negeri and Sarawak State Legislative Assembly buildings.

In Feng Shui, a bridge helps block some of the energy flow downstream with the river flow.

Therefore, properties before the bridge are deemed auspicious because of the dammed energy.

This bridge is "curved". If you scrutinise the curves, they act as a concave mirror and direct some of the energy toward the Astana Negeri, the residence of the Governor of the State.

• An Auspicious Building - Kuching Hilton: This building sits at the bend of the Sarawak River. Secondly, it has a "U" design to capture the energy and an entrance door to let the energy into the building. This hotel has an excellent record of occupancy, which keeps the property owners happy.

• Auspicious energy in Period 9: There has been much discussion on the internet on the effects of Period 9, which is from 2024 to 2048. In this period, the auspicious energy comes from the South. In the case of Kuching, this comes from the mountains. This energy is not only carried overland but also along the Sarawak River.

Secondly, when this energy reaches the South China Sea, this vast expense of water reflects the Energy in the direction it came from. In other words, it goes back to Kuching.

The net effect of this effect is that Kuching gets this auspicious energy from 2 directions: the South and the North.

• Location of Kuching: Kuching is located northwest of Sarawak. The North West is considered in Feng Shui to be the patriarchal location – the position where it shows leadership in the state and economy. The North West position is deemed the best location for the capital of the state or country.
