Any which contain the number "four"
The word for "four" in Chinese sounds very similar to the word for "death" in many Chinese languages or dialects. The avoidance is seen also in Korea, Japan and some other East Asian countries. It extends beyond high-rise buildings to numbers in daily and business life.
