Nanfang'ao

Nanfang'ao stands as the largest isthmus on Taiwan's eastern coastline, featuring capes, reefs, cliffs, and natural fish grounds near the Black Tide currents.

The formation of this port occurred when a small island acted as a barrier, causing sand accumulation behind it where winds and waves could not reach.

The port supplies over 90 percent of Taiwan's mackerel needs, with peak fishing season running from September through February, culminating in the October festival.

Visitors reach the port via National Freeway 5, exiting at Suao Interchange, or by taking Taiwan Railways Administration trains to Suao Station with bus connections.

Three distinct dunes create a natural formation that local residents named Pen Holder Mountain due to its characteristic saddle-shaped terrain features.
