Construction of a light railroad had started in Liuzhou in 1928. The railroad opened on March 1, 1933, and had two branches (one via Dongda Road to the Liuzhou Brick Factory and another to the garrison of First Division of the National Revolutionary Army) and a total length of 8.3 km. The train used was a small trail that needed manpower to assist. However, the line was shut down in the early 1950s and the track was demolished.[3]
In 2017, the Ministry of Environmental Protection reviewed and approved the "Environmental Impact Report on Liuzhou Urban Rail Transit Network and Construction Planning".[4]
In June 2017 the construction of Line 2 started.[5]
In November 2020, the Guangxi Cultural Tourism Development Conference was held in Liuzhou. The Liuzhou Rail Transit was one of the eleven observation points of the conference.[7]
