History
On 9 April 2023, apart from routes 717 and 718, Lilypad Rail proposed another 2 circular routes which has a smaller circle than the former routes, namely the “Tempest South Circular”. The smaller circle is included in the Southwest of the big circle, taking up about one quarter of the area of it.
On 9 July 2023, routes 721 and 722 were completed together with the whole Tempest light rail network.
On 20 October 2023, Qingli Railways proposed the “Lilac Light Rail Reform Plan 2023”. According to the plan, route 721/722 will be removed as it cannot bring too much efficiency to the light rail system after the modification of routes. The resources left behind will be used to set up routes 719, 719P and route 601.
