    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 Eastern Guard Pavilion I is located to the west of Changnyongmun Gate. Among the guard pavilions of Hwaseong Fortress, this one projects the furthest outward. The two eastern guard pavilions are open to the outside without wooden walls to facilitate a better view of the area, whereas the other three guard pavilions are enclosed with walls for enhanced protection.
