The Korean Friendship Bell was donated to the City of Los Angeles in 1976 by the people of the Republic of Korea to celebrate the bicentennial of the U.S. independence, honor veterans of the Korean War, and to consolidate traditional friendship between the two countries. The bell is based on the Bronze Bell of King Songdok, which was cast in 771 A.D. and is still on view in South Korea today. The bell is one of the points of interest at the Angel's Gate Recreation Center in San Pedro.
