Singapore feng shui specialists changed wheel direction for luck
Officials in Singapore have changed the direction of the world’s biggest observation wheel because feng shui masters said it was taking good fortune away from the city, a report said Saturday.
The Singapore Flyer, which opened earlier this year, originally revolved so it rose to face the business district and descended overlooking the sea.
However, masters of the ancient Chinese art of geomancy convinced the wheel’s management to reverse it so it was not taking fortune away from the city.
“A number of feng shui masters had approached us to tell us the Flyer is on the perfect site to pick up the good qi (energy) flowing into Singapore, but it was going in the wrong direction,” said Florian Bollen, the Singapore Flyer’s chairman. “The Flyer was going against the sun and taking fortune away from Singapore.”
Bollen likened the change to the “completion of a perfect movie” to give a better story, but added that it cost the company a “six-figure sum.”
At 165 metres, or 42 storeys, the Singapore Flyer is 30 metres higher than Britain’s London Eye.
