Sajik-ro 89, Jongno-gu, Seúl
El parque Sajik es uno de los tres parques más famosos en Jongno-gu, junto con los parques Tapgol y Samcheong. Situado al oeste de Cheong Wa Dae, cerca del monte Inwangsan, el parque tiene unas impresionantes dimensiones de 188.710 m².
El nombre del parque fue elegido en 1395, cuando Taejo Lee Sung-gye hizo su primer Sajikdan (altar a los dioses del Estado) junto con el santuario Jongmyo, en el centro del parque. "Sa" se refiere a la deidad de la Tierra, mientras que "jik" hace referencia a la deidad de los cinco granos. Varios rituales por buenas cosechas tuvieron lugar regularmente en el Sajikdan; sin embargo, el área no fue reconocida como un parque hasta 1922, durante el período colonial japonés.
En el parque se encuentran muchos parques infantlies, estatuas de Shin Saimdang, Hwanghakjeong y Yi I (nombrado a menudo por su nombre de escritor, Yulgok), y la Biblioteca Municipal Infantil. El santuario Dangun y la Biblioteca de Jongno se encuentran por la zona. Siguiendo el camino cercano al parque Sajik durante 5 minutos, los visitantes pueden llegar a la ruta para excursionistas del monte Inwangsan con relativa facilidad.

El Parque Hyochang, de 122.245 metros cuadrados, está situado en Hyochang-dong y Cheongpa 2-dong. Es un lugar histórico, que antes contenía varias tumbas reales, era conocida en aquel entonces como Hyochangwon. Las tumbas, que estaban originalmente en Hyochangwon, son del príncipe heredero Munhyo (primogénito del rey Jeongjo, que fue muerto con solo 5 años), la Noble Consorte Real Uibin del Clan Seong (concubina real del rey Jeongjo y madre del príncipe heredero Munhyo), la Noble Cosorte Real Sugui del Clan Park (concubina real del rey Sunjo), y su hija, la princesa Yeongon. Las tumbas reales fueron trasladadas al cementerio real Seosamreung durante el período colonial japonés. En 1924, el Imperio Japonés implementó la renovación de Hyochangwon para convertirlo en un parque, y en 1940, el gobernador general japonés, oficialmente, designó este sitio como un parque.
En la actualidad, algunos de los grandes líderes coreanos están enterrados en el Parque Hyochang. La mayoría de los restos son de activistas independentistas frente a Japón, incluyendo Yoon Bong-gil, Lee Bong-chang y Baek Jeong-gi, cuyas sepulturas son colectivamente conocidas como “Samuisa-myo” (tumbas de los tres mártires). Una estatua de Lee Bong-chang se levanta en el cementerio. Otros mártires patriotas que están inhumados en el parque son Kim Koo y algunos de los personajes importantes del Gobierno Provisional de Corea, tales como Lee Dong-nyeong, Cha I-seok y Cho Seong-hwan. El santuario ancestral, llamado Uiyeolsa, se encuentra al lado de la puerta principal y cuenta con los retratos de los difuntos independentistas.
