Su-ao (traditional Chinese: 蘇澳pinyin: Sūào; Wade-Giles: Su-ao; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: So͘-Ò), located in southern Yilan County, Taiwan, is an urban township that is famous for its seafood restaurants and cold springs. It is the destination of National Highway No. 5, Su-ao-Hualian Express Way, and North-Link Line of Taiwan Railway Administration. It also has two large harbors: Su-ao Port, a multi-function seaport that also houses a naval base; and Nanfang-ao Port, a major fishing port of Taiwan.
