1. Destroying Feng Shui: Due to Qingyuan's small population and special geographical environment, the construction of high-speed rail may destroy the local Feng Shui, which is the concern of local residents and the government.
2. Landlord's unwillingness: High-speed rail construction may involve disputes over land property rights transactions, resulting in landlord's unwillingness to cooperate with land acquisition and demolition.
3. The Qing government's treasury was empty: The Qing government experienced a series of failed wars and the signing of unequal treaties, which led to its poor financial situation and insufficient funds for the construction of high-speed rail.
4. For the sake of territorial sovereignty: The Qing government was unwilling to build the railway for fear that it would threaten its national sovereignty.
To sum up, the main reasons why Qingyuan can't build high-speed rail are geomantic omen, the will of landlords, the financial situation of the Qing government and national sovereignty. These factors have limited the construction and development of Qingyuan high-speed railway to varying degrees.
