The Hexi tram (opened in 2014) is one of two new tramlines that serve the city of Nanjing, China. These lines are part of the Nanjing tram network, which is an above-ground trolley system in Nanjing. The tram began its first trial run on August 13.[1] The tram was built as part of infrastructure works for the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics.
