Pinghu–Nanshan railway

The line is 50.2 kilometres (31.2 mi) long with 8 stations, from Pinghu, where it is linked to Guangshen railway, to Shekou West or Mawan (which are on different branches).

The entire line is single-track and built at 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge.

The railway was planned in the late 1980s to provide rail access for the Port of Shenzhen.

It was the first railway in the People's Republic of China being built with both local and foreign capital.

Construction of the Pingnan railway was approved in 1991 by the Chinese Government and commenced in September that year.
