The Hohaiyan Rock Festival (Chinese: 貢寮國際海洋音樂祭; pinyin: Gòngliáo Guójì Hǎiyáng Yīnyuèjì) is an annual Taiwan rock music festival held in Fulong Beach, Gongliao, New Taipei, Taiwan.[1][2]

Names

The name "Hohaiyan" came from the historical fact that Taiwan is an island surrounded by sea and waves. Taiwanese aborigines heard the wave sound coming to shore with a melody of "ho-hai-yan", thus "Hohaiyan" ever since has signified waves and oceans to them.[3]

History

This free music event first started in 2000 on 15 July.[4]
