Soon, people also found out these had also bio-luminescent phytoplankton drifted into Luak Esplanade, Brighton Beach, Lutong Beach, Piasau Beach (at Piasau Boat Club) and could be sometimes observed from those spots, though not always. Tusan Beach was consistently the best place to spot this phenomenon.

Lutong Bridge is the bridge linking Pujut 8 to Lutong across Miri River. This bridge was originally single-lane for each direction, but eventually upgraded in the early 2000s to accommodate for more traffic to double-lane going each direction. There is actually a road that goes beneath this bridge linking to Lutong Baru, effectively making this bridge Miri's very first 'overpass'.
Lutong River is a river that flows North-South along the coast to the west of Lutong town.
