The Su’ao Service Area on National Freeway No. 5 is the 15th such facility nationwide and the only one in eastern Taiwan. It is also the first to greet the 2020 sunrise. Its architectural design resembles a giant ship entering the harbor, making it a popular photo spot for travelers visiting eastern Taiwan.
