History

Route 720 was first proposed by Qingli Railways on 26 December 2022. In this plan, Route 720 ran straight down from Tempest stop, but did not connect to the rest of the light rail system.

On 25 January 2023, the light rail connection to tempest is replaced by route 761, which connects Tempest stop and Daimon North stop.

On 3 February 2023, Qingli Railways dropped the “Qingli LRT Extension Plan”, and Route 720 is one of the routes proposed in this plan, running from Daimon North to Heung Fan Liu Airport, thus connecting the Tempest light rail network to the rest of the Qingli/Lilypad light rail system. The construction of route 720 commenced on 19 February 2023 together with the extension of route 882.

On 4 March 2023, route 720 is completed and fully operational.

On 20 October 2023, Qingli Railways proposed the “Lilac Light Rail Reform Plan 2023”. According to plan, route 720 will be extended to Jonathan’s Resort stop to replace the section between Heung Fan Liu Airport and Jonathan’s Resort of route 882 and route 482P.
