Intricate reliefs represent goddesses of liberty , victory & peace , while architectural details impart the nature of Korean culture. Visit on a clear day for a picnic w/ pristine views of the harbor .

One of the most beautiful monuments and look out points I have ever been to. Even on a hot summer day the breeze from the ocean is cool. Very expansive views of PV, San Pedro, and the ocean

Sandwiched between Fort MacArthur & Point Fermin. A cool area to explore with great views on a sunny afternoon. Overcast days can be downright chilly.

The Friendship Bell is modeled after the Emile Bell, which is the largest bell ever built in Korean history. Both are among the largest in the world.

It's incredibly beautiful, and the bell is awesome. It's on a cliff that just gives it a special place.

By far, one of the most spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean! The Korean Bell of Friendship was dedicated on October 3, 1976 and declared Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 187 in 1978.

One of the best views in Southern California. And the bell itself is beautiful.
