In Singapore, the concept of ley lines does not exist in a vacuum; it is intrinsically intertwined with the ancient Chinese art of feng shui (geomancy). Whereas the Western concept focuses on straight lines connecting physical landmarks, the Eastern concept focuses on the flow of "Qi" (life force) through the landscape, often in curving, serpentine paths. These energetic lines are known as , or "Lung Mei" in Cantonese. In feng shui, the landscape is viewed as a cosmic dragon. The "dragon veins" (mài) are the paths through which the earth's Qi travels. If a dragon vein is rich and vibrant, it brings prosperity, health, and good fortune to those who live along it. Conversely, if it is blocked or damaged, it can bring stagnation and misfortune. Because Singapore has a majority Chinese population, the influence of these dragon lines on the city's development is significant. Many of Singapore’s most important buildings, from the towering skyscrapers in the Central Business District (CBD) to luxury hotels on Orchard Road, have been designed with feng shui principles in mind to harness or redirect the flow of these subterranean energies.
