Gin Chen's strong reaction to the front entrance facing northwest suggests that she believes in the traditional principles of feng shui, which emphasizes the importance of the orientation and energy flow of a home. In feng shui, a northwest-facing entrance is associated with negative energy and is generally considered undesirable.
