ANNOUNCEMENT OF INTENTION TO DELIST AMERICAN

DEPOSITARY SHARES FROM THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE

AND SUBSEQUENT RRANGEMENTS

This announcement is made by Guangshen Railway Company Limited ("Guangshen Railway" or the "Company"; NYSE: GSH; SEHK: 00525; SSE: 601333) pursuant to the disclosure obligations under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance and Rule 13.09(2)(a) and Rule 13.10B of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules").

Guangshen Railway intends to apply for the voluntary delisting of its American depositary shares ("ADSs") representing Class H ordinary shares from the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") and, when the conditions are met, the deregistration of such ADSs and underlying Class H ordinary shares and terminate the reporting obligations pursuant to the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ''Exchange Act''). The decision to delist is primarily due to a number of considerations, including the limited trading volume of the ADSs relative to the worldwide trading volume, and the significant management costs of maintaining the listing of the ADSs on the NYSE, the registration of the ADSs with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and complying with the relevant obligations under the Exchange Act. The board of directors of Guangshen Railway approved the delisting of its ADSs from the NYSE and the deregistration of such ADSs and the underlying Class H ordinary shares pursuant to the Exchange Act upon certain conditions being met.

Guangshen Railway intends to file a Form 25 with the SEC on the earliest practicable date. The delisting is expected to become effective ten days thereafter, at which time the ADSs of Guangshen Railway will no longer be listed and traded on the NYSE. Once the delisting has become effective and the criteria for deregistration have been satisfied, Guangshen Railway intends to submit a Form 15F with the SEC to deregister the ADSs and the underlying Class H ordinary shares pursuant to the Exchange Act.

After delisting its ADSs from the NYSE, Guangshen Railway remains committed to serve its investors and intends to maintain its ADR program as a Level I program, which will enable American investors and current holders of the ADSs to continue to hold the ADSs and trade in the United States over-the-counter market. The trading of the Company's Class H ordinary shares will be concentrated on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. In consideration of trading activities of Guangshen Railway's securities in various markets, it is contemplated that the offshore trading of Guangshen Railway's securities will be concentrated on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited in the future.

Guangshen Railway reserves its rights in all respect to delay or withdraw the aforementioned actions prior to their effectiveness and will issue any further announcement if required under the Listing Rules or other applicable laws.
