Naming in English[]
In writing, the Chinese name of this station is the same with "Berlin," the capital city of Germany, and the English name came from the romanization of such Chinese name. The English name was first written as "Bolin," same with the pronunciation of Berlin in Chinese, and thus it appeared in news reports jokingly as "a Wuhan Metro line that can take you to Germany".[3] Shortly after the opening of this line, the local government decided to change the English name to "Bailin," an alternative way to pronounce the Chinese name, citing it was the locally accepted way, even though the local dialect pronounced the name more closely to "Bolin".[4][5]
