Qiubei Tram

Qiubei Tram, also known as Wenshan Tram, is a tram system serving Qiubei County, Yunnan, China. It consists of a single line with 8 stops and a 3 stop branch line. Most of the route is grade separated. The trams are powered through a combination of batteries and supercapacitors, which negates the need for continuous overhead line outside of halts. The rolling stock consists of 15 low-floor trams built by CRRC Zhuzhou. The network opened on 15 May 2021, making Qiubei the first county-level city in China with a tram line.[1][2][3][4]
