Description: The Korean Friendship Bell, located in San Pedro, California, is a massive and intricately designed bronze bell that was gifted to the United States by South Korea in 1976 to celebrate the U.S. Bicentennial and honor veterans of the Korean War. Housed in a beautifully ornate pagoda-like structure within Angel's Gate Park, the bell symbolizes the enduring friendship between the two nations. The pavilion, adorned with vibrant colors and traditional Korean architectural elements, offers stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and the Los Angeles harbor, making it a popular spot for both tourists and locals. The bell is rung only on special occasions, such as the Fourth of July and Korean Liberation Day, adding to its cultural and historical significance.
