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]
Because the festival was inactive from 2020-2022, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the decision was made to terminate the festival in 2023.[5]
