The route is planned to be laid along Yizhou Avenue, starting from Chengdu South railway station and arriving at Huayang Hualong Bridge.[1] At the beginning of 2015, the route of the Yizhou Avenue tram demonstration line (Line 1) was announced. In mid-2015, the official website of Chengdu Metro issued the "Announcement of the General Contracting Bidding for the Survey and Design of the Chengdu Yizhou Avenue Tram Demonstration Line". At the end of 2015, the names and locations of 16 stations on the line were announced.[2] In January 2016, in order to alleviate the traffic pressure in the southern part of Chengdu, the Chengdu Tram Line 1 project announced the suspension of construction.
