Suao (traditional Chinese: 蘇澳; Wade-Giles: Su-ao, pinyin: Sūào), 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, Suao-Hualian Express Way, and North-Link Line of Taiwan Railway Administration. It also has two large harbors: Suao Port, a multi-function seaport that also houses a naval base; and Nanfang-ao Port, a major fishing port of Taiwan.
