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.

Songseogwon (松石園) is the place name for the area around lot 47, Ogin-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul. The Ongnyudong Valley flowing down from Inwangsan ran through this area, and its outstanding scenery made it a popular destination for yangban and jungin from the mid-Joseon period. In particular, the jungin class led a Wihanng literature movement here: when Cheon Su-gyeong built a house called Songseogwon beside the Ongnyudong Valley and hosted poetry gatherings there, the Okgye Poetry Society (also called the Songseogwon Poetry Society) centered on him became widely celebrated. Following the flourishing of the Songseogwon Poetry Society, the name of the area came to be called Songseogwon rather than Okgye (玉溪), the earlier name for the Ongnyudong Valley. After Cheon Su-gyeong's death, ownership of Songseogwon changed hands several times—passing through the Shin Andong Kim clan (known as the Jangdong Kims) and the Yeoheung Min clan—before Yun Deok-yeong came to possess Songseogwon around 1910. Yun Deok-yeong purchased more than half the land in Ogin-dong during the Japanese colonial period and built a mansion called Byeoksusanjang (碧樹山莊) on the Songseogwon site, centered on a French-style Western building known as the Yang-gwan (洋館). The Yang-gwan served as the headquarters of the United Nations Commission for the Unification and Rehabilitation of Korea before and after the Korean War, was destroyed by fire in 1966, and was demolished in 1973. After liberation, many houses were built around the Ongnyudong Valley, and residents still refer to the area as Songseogwon.

Jibokjae (Korean: 집옥재; Hanja: 集玉齋; MR: Chibokchae) is a building in the palace Gyeongbokgung in Seoul, South Korea. It is connected with two other buildings; to its west is Parujeong (팔우정; 八隅亭; P'arujŏng) and to its east is Hyeopgildang (협길당; 協吉堂; Hyŏpkiltang).

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.
