Fung Shui Wood is originated from the Chinese traditional value of harmony between man and nature. Vicinity to the woodlands would be of primary preference in choosing village-building site, not only in the belief that the woods can block the evil spirit, but also benefits in hillsides consolidation, wind blockage, micro-climate regulation and source of fruits. There are around 116 Fun Shui Woods in Hong Kong, some of which are better preserved, such as those in Mui Tsz Lam, Lai Chi Wo and Sheung Wo Hang. Due to their relative inaccessibility and protection by villagers (a few inside country parks too e.g. Shing Mun Country Park), many of these Fung Shui Woods receive less human disturbance for decades. Scarlet Sterculia (Sterculia lanceolata), Fleshy Nut Tree (Sarcospermum chinensis) and Chinese Cryptocarya (Cryptocarya chinensis) are common native plant species that can be found in Fung Shui Woods.
