Gongliao is located in the northeastern part of Taiwan Province of China, under the jurisdiction of New Taipei City, bordering the Pacific Ocean to the east and Ruifang District to the north, making it the easternmost administrative district on Taiwan's main island. With an area of about 99 square kilometers and a population of about 13,000, the district is known for its rich marine resources, unique geological landscape and annual music event.
Gongliao is blessed with a long coastline and unspoiled natural ecology. Famous attractions include the lighthouse at San Diaojiao, Taiwan's extreme eastern point, the sea-eroded platforms of the Lailai Geological Area, and the golden sandy beaches of the Fulong Sea Bathing Beach. The Caoling Old Trail in the area is a century-old trail opened in the Qing Dynasty, which creates a stunning silver-white landscape when the mango blossoms are in full bloom in the fall of each year.
Gongliao is best known for the "New Taipei City Gongliao International Ocean Music Festival" held every summer, which attracts independent music creators from all over the world. The area is rich in seafood such as nine-hole abalone and stone cauliflower, and the combination of traditional fishing culture and modern tourism has created a unique seaside settlement. The Taiwan-2 coastal highway runs through the entire area, providing a magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean.
