Buildings in Hong Kong are designed keeping in mind the basic principles of Feng Shui.
This one was spotted on Repulse Bay beach in Hong Kong and that square hole in the building intrigued me. I later learnt of an ancient legend about such designs. It says that dragons fly through the building to drink from the sea and since this land mark building is near a beach, the square hole was a deliberate attempt by the architects.
