Accessibility to the development area is via the dedicated Bertam Interchange [ exit 166 ] on the South-North PLUS Highway. This highway strecthing from Johor Bahru in the south to Bukit Kayu Hitam in the North has now become the main traveling route in the nation. It takes less than ten hours to cover the entire stretch from Johor Bahru to Bukit Kayu Hitam.
The Bertam interchange is about 15 minutes to Penang Bridge, about half hour to Penang International Airport and twenty minutes from Penang Port. In the future, the second link to Penang will shorten to travel to Penang. Several established industrial sites such as Seberang Perai Free Trade Zone, Sungai Petani and the Kulim High Tech Park are all well one hours travel distance. Notably also is the site accessibility to the Butterworth North Port and North-South Railway line which give added advantage for industrialization, commercial and warehousing

There are many legends about the origin of the Lantern Festival, and one such legend tells about the story of the Jade Emperor in Heaven who was angry with a town for killing his favourite pet goose, he was so furious that he decided to destroy the town through a fire storm. However, a kind celestial being heard about this, and instructed the people of the town to light lanterns throughout the town on that day. The towns people did as they were told, and from the Heavens, it looked as if the village was ablaze.
Satisfied that his pet had already been avenged, the Jade Emperor decided not to destroy the town. From that day on, people celebrated the anniversary of their deliverance by carrying lanterns of different shapes and colors through the streets on the first full moon of the year.
The moon plays a important role in Chinese festivals - the 15th day of the first lunar month of the Chinese calendar. The festival, which some non-Chinese call as pesta tanglung, is celebrated in grand style by all Malaysians with lantern competitions, mooncake making demonstrations and street processions. During this time, shop owners will be busy assembling lanterns of various shapes out of coloured transparent paper (mostly red and yellow, for these are auspicious colours), wire and paint.
There are lanterns that are also made with a light frame of bamboo covered with transparent paper which represent birds and animals, and other objects of interest. Others are so creatively designed that by the burning of the candle makes the objects appear life like.
The Malaysian Ministry of Culture and Tourism often celebrates the festival on a grand scale with events taking place in several states, plus numerous lantern competitions and processions. The Penang International Lantern Festival 2007 starts on the 15th of September until 31 December 2007 from 7pm until 12 midnight at the Highway Autocity, Juru.
