Midea Station is named because it is close to Midea Group's headquarters and thus have exhibition installations sponsored by the group in the concourse for visitors to take photos and interact with.[4] Although Guangzhou's subway station naming rules prohibit the names of commercial organizations from being used in station naming, this station is not in Guangzhou but in Foshan and is not subject to this restriction. Therefore, it is the first and possibly the only station in the Guang-Fo metro network that is entirely named after a commercial organization.[5]
