Hahyangjeong (Korean: 하향정; Hanja: 荷香亭; MR: Hahyangjŏng) is a Joseon-style pavilion in the palace Gyeongbokgung in Seoul, South Korea. It is a modern addition to the palace. It was constructed in 1950 and is located to the northeast of Gyeonghoeru. It was constructed for the first South Korean president Syngman Rhee, who used it for fishing and leisure. Whether to demolish the structure has been controversial. It was long uncertain if Rhee used it personally, but in 2013 it was announced that photos had been discovered of Rhee fishing at the spot. Proponents of the building's demolition argued that keeping it would go against the objectives of the ongoing plans to restore the palace to its pre-colonial state. Opponents argued that the building was itself historic because of its association with Rhee. The Cultural Heritage Administration decided to keep the building on November 13, 2013.

It collapsed on April 27, 1926, likely due to vibrations from tram construction. It was then destroyed. In 1975, it was restored, although around 45 m (148 ft) north of its original location and using reinforced concrete. It was then used by the Capital Defense Command of the South Korean military. In 2018, it became available for public use as a regular entrance to the palace. It is set to be restored to its original location around 2023 to 2034.

Sinmumun (Korean: 신무문; Hanja: 神武門; lit. Black Turtle-Snake Gate) is the north gate of the palace Gyeongbokgung in Seoul, South Korea. It was used generally by military personnel. The gate has generally seen little use, especially in comparison to the other gates. It was often closed. It was built in 1433. Sejong the Great decided to construct the gate because of a traditional belief that palaces should have four large gates; there were only three at the time. Sinmumun was named in 1475; it is named for a mythical Chinese guardian of the north, the Black Turtle-Snake. That guardian is also painted on the ceiling of the gate. After being destroyed in 1592 during the Imjin War, the gate was rebuilt in 1865. This version of the gate has persisted to the present. The Gojong-era reconstruction saw the gate becoming the entrance to Gyeongmudae, the northern gardens of the palace. Part of the gate's walls collapsed during the colonial period, although they were repaired. It was opened to the public in 1954, but was closed after the May 16 coup of 1961 for security reasons (it is close to the Blue House and to the former military facilities in the palace). It was reopened for public use in 2006 or 2007. It was the final area of the palace to reopen to the public.

Sujeongjeon was used by various government offices over time. During the reign of Sejong the Great, it was a key facility involved in the invention of the Korean script Hangul. The building was destroyed in 1592, during the Imjin War. One of its annex buildings had a fire in 1813. It was reconstructed in 1867 and used as a side hall for Sajeongjeon. This form of the building has largely persisted to the present. From 1872 to 1875, it stored Gojong's ritual portrait. In 1894, it was used by the Reform Council. Its surrounding buildings were destroyed by 1915 for the Chōsen Industrial Exhibition. It then become the only remaining government office in the palace. It became used as a museum building for various artifacts from Central Asia. From October 4, 1966 until 1975, it was occupied by a predecessor to the National Folk Museum of Korea. Unusually for a side hall, it has a large wŏltae. It has rear chimneys, which likely allowed for the use of ondol heated floors.

Hyangwonjeong (Korean: 향원정; Hanja: 香遠亭; lit. Far-spreading Fragrance Pavilion) is a pavilion in the palace Gyeongbokgung in Seoul, South Korea. The building is a two-story hexagonal pavilion on an island in the pond Hyangwonji (향원지; 香遠池) that was used for leisure. It was built some time between 1867 and 1873. The building is named for a phrase in the Chinese text Ailianshuo. In 1894, Western missionaries demonstrated figure skating to the royal family on the frozen pond. Various temporary buildings were constructed around the pond for the 1929 Chōsen Exhibition. The bridge to the pavilion, Chwihyanggyo (취향교; 醉香橋; Ch'wihyanggyo; 'Intoxicated by Fragrance Bridge'), was completed in 1873. It was the longest wooden bridge built over a pond during the Joseon period. The bridge was initially located to the north of the pavilion, but after it was destroyed by a bombing during the 1950–1953 Korean War, it was rebuilt to the south side in 1953. In 2021, the bridge was restored to its original location.
