Korean Bell of Friendship, Bronze bell monument in San Pedro, United States.
The Korean Bell of Friendship measures 12 feet in height and weighs 17 tons, featuring decorative reliefs depicting Korean cultural elements throughout its surface.
South Korea presented this bell to Los Angeles in 1976 to commemorate the United States Bicentennial and honor the veterans of the Korean War.
The bell structure combines traditional Korean architecture with Buddhist design elements, including intricate carvings of dragons, flowers, and geometric patterns on its exterior.
Located in Angels Gate Park, the monument remains open daily from dawn to dusk, with designated bell-ringing ceremonies occurring five times throughout the year.
The bell's metal composition includes a specific mixture of copper, tin, gold, and silver, following ancient Korean bell-making techniques from the Silla Dynasty.
