The Bandar Baharu District (colloquially Bandaq Baqhu or Bandaq Baru; once proposed to be renamed as Bandar Crustacea) is a district containing a town of the same name and a state assembly constituency at the southernmost end of Kedah, Malaysia. The Bandar Baharu District is located along the Kedah-Penang-Perak border tripoint, 37 km (23 mi) southeast of George Town, Penang's capital city.
Due to its proximity to Penang, the Bandar Baharu District is considered to be part of Greater Penang, Malaysia's second-largest conurbation. The district's logistical needs are met by Penang's transportation infrastructure.
The Bandar Baharu District Council (Majlis Daerah Bandar Baharu, MDBB) administers the district. This district covers an area of 168.3 km2 and consists of seven sub-districts: Serdang, Kuala Selama, Sungai Batu, Bagan Samak, Permatang Pasir, Sungai Kecil Ilir and Relau. Serdang, a 20 km drive away from the town of Bandar Baharu, is the district capital and administrative center of the Bandar Baharu District. The district is the southernmost and second smallest local government area in Kedah.
The district borders the South Seberang Perai district to the east, the Larut, Matang and Selama and Kerian districts in the south and the Kulim district to the north.

Seri Tasik Park
This park in Serdang town was originally an inactive mine that was redeveloped as a recreation garden with a children’s playground and exercise equipment with a budget allocated by the National Landscaping Department. A budget for further development from the Ministry of Culture, Art and Tourism of Malaysia was granted for the construction of a new wakaf (traditional wooden pavilion); providing picnic tables and chairs; building concrete bridges to link two lakes; a new pedestrian pathway; and decorative lights around the park.
