Duck snack subway station leaves a bitter taste

By Zheng Jinran in Beijing and Zhou Lihua in Wuhan | China Daily | Updated: 2012-11-15 08:07

The naming of a new subway station after a popular duck snack brand is proving hard to swallow for residents in Wuhan.

Hubei's provincial capital is scheduled to open Line 2 at the end of this year, and authorities have already sold the naming rights to seven of its 21 stations, generating 22.75 million yuan ($3.65 million).

However, people have expressed mixed feelings over the fact Jianghan Road Station - in a historic area of the city - will be branded with the name Zhouheiya, a well-known snack company.
