Kaohsiung metro officials reject CPC feng shui complaint

Mass transit officials have rejected a demand by state-run Chinese Petroleum Corp (CPC) to reroute a new subway line said to violate the feng shui of its Kaohsiung headquarter's front door.

The company wanted the subway line rerouted because its overhead portion would have two support columns facing the front door -- unacceptable under feng shui rules, which say harmonious energy and better fortune come by correctly positioning buildings, furniture and other objects.

CPC officials had demanded that the overhead portion be at least 15m from its front door -- not next to it, as planned -- saying the tall columns could block the flow of air and bring bad luck.
