However, to examine its factuality is not easy, therefore, the controversy of that never ceased from ancient times till now. Nevertheless, based on the literature in Luan Tou theory, the factuality can be manifested. Yet, few researchers have put focus on the examination for it. By the review of Feng Shui literature and field study, this research aims to analyze the components of Luan Tou theory for investigating the natural environment in practice and to clearly display the operation from the perspective of Luan Tou faction for solving Feng Shui problems. Furthermore, suggestions were provided. The researcher reviewed the literature of Feng Shui and particularly focused on Luan Tou theory. He also concluded 16 indicators for investigating the natural environment and then selected Minsyong Forest Park as the base for research. Besides, via the field study, five possible research settings in the park were discovered. Furthermore, in-depth interview was administered for gathering perceptions of the five possible research settings from related scholars. Finally, the research findings were that Luan Tou theory was scientific and the factuality could be proved. In addition, the procedure for the operation and determination could be clearly demonstrated. Consequently, at least five dragon spots were found in Minsyong Forest Park and they were worth further research.
