Overview
The Hexi tram begins at the Nanjing Metro Line 2 Olympic Stadium East station. The terminus is located in Yuzui Wetlands Park area in southern Hexi New District.
The tram runs completely at ground level and features eco-friendly technologies and many modern amenities which include an on-board storage battery, and a pantograph charging system at each of its stations.
The Hexi tram covers {{convert|7.76|km|mi|abbr=on}} with a total of 13 stations that intersect in four points with Nanjing's existing metro lines.
On 6 May 2021, service of Hexi tram was temporarily suspended to allow construction of Metro Line 2 western extension.
