The American dream is built on the foundations of hard work and a good idea, but in Hong Kong, they believe there is a third element --  Feng Shui. In the West, this ancient Chinese philosophy is often associated with interior design. But Feng Shui is more than just moving furniture around a room.

Feng Shui involves balancing the five Chinese elements; earth, fire, water, metal, and wood, in harmony with location and life. 

Feng Shui Master, Raymond Lo says that from a global perspective Feng Shui rotates through years one through nine in twenty year cycles. The year 2015 falls under the 20-year cycle associated with the number eight, which started in 2004. Lo says the number eight greatly helped China in the 2008 Summer Olympics, which started on 08/08/08. China brought home the most gold medals during the Beijing Summer Olympics. The number eight cylce will end in 2024, when the number nine cycle starts.
