    A guard pavilion, called poru in Korean, is an outwardly projecting structure topped with a pavilion that functioned as a soldiers' lookout. There are five guard pavilions in Hwaseong Fortress.

    The Western Guard Pavilion was built near the summit of Paldalsan Mountain. This guard pavilion was designed to utilize the geographical characteristics of the steep slope, such that soldiers could effectively attack an approaching enemy.
