Korean Bell of Friendship

  Korean Bell of Friendship stands in Angel's Gate Park in San Pedro, Los Angeles, providing not just a cultural experience but an impressive view of the Pacific Ocean. This large bronze bell, gifted by South Korea in 1976 to celebrate the U.S.-Korea relationship, is mounted in a striking pavilion that resembles traditional Korean architecture. Visitors often come to admire the bell's intricate design and participate in special events, especially during the annual bell-ringing ceremony, which occurs in September. Surrounding the area are beautiful gardens, featuring native California flora and picnic spots, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy the scenery. Whether you're interested in history, culture, or just a lovely day outdoors, the Korean Bell of Friendship offers a unique blend of all three.
