Recently, a new policy of 30-day visa-free access for 59 counties in Hainan, China has been put into practice since May 1st 2018, where foreign tourists from these countries are allowed to travel in every area of the province for 30 days from the date to enter into the province, without a Chinese visa. You can go anywhere on the island at this time. If you planned to visit other Chinese provinces or cities outside of Hainan, you would have to apply for a Chinese visa.
Which are the countries eligible for the 30-day visa-free access?
They are listed according to the initial as shown below:
Visa On Arrival: VOA without a tour group?
As part of the new policy you are not allowed to enter Hainan with a Visa-on-arrival without applying through a local tour agency at least 3 days in advance.
Here's a rewritten version of the text with a dynamic, chatty tone:
Booking your hotel through a Hainan travel agency is a great way to get started on planning your trip. They can also help you apply for your free Hainan visa - just ask!
To be eligible for the 30-day visa-free access, you need to hold a passport that is valid for at least three months after the date of entry into Hainan. Having a travel schedule planned is also necessary when submitting an application for a tour. Once you've got these two things sorted, you can submit your identity documents and travel plans to a Hainan agency or a travel agency in your home country. They'll take care of the rest by sending your details to the relevant authorities - namely, the Hainan public security bureau and frontier inspection station.
When it comes to entering Hainan for your 30-day visa-free adventure, you can choose from any ship port or airport on the island. New rules mean all the doors into this special tour area are open. Just like booking any other trip through your travel agent is wise, make sure you've got everything sorted with them. By doing so, you'll be able to focus on enjoying your time in Hainan, rather than worrying about the logistics!
As long as you possess permission to Hainan by Hainan travel agencies, you will be accepted in any port to begin to enjoy the visa-free policy.
Sanya Phoenix International Airport and Haikou Meiland International Airport are the two airports in Hainan. An increasing number of various international airlines has been opened. When you have finished your holiday there or just want to know more the airports previously, you can get more information on the official website of Hainan airlines: https://www.hainanairlines.com/GB/GB/Home
Arriving on a Cruise Ship?
The same as the airports, all eligible cruise ships with a stop-off in Hainan are included in the 30-day visa free entry.

What are the highlights in Hainan?
Honestly, I'm the big fan of this province and have traveled a lot there. Regarding the attractions of this wonderful location, I would like to suggest a few well-known sceneries, such Wuzhizhou Island, Boao Bay, Shimei Bay, and Yalong Bay.
As a tourist-oriented province, Hainan is specially famous for its incredibly beautiful bays, beaches and islands. So you can enjoy a complete series of sea travel, like sunbathing, diving, surfing, swimming and other water activities.
A great event, the Boao Forum for Asia also occurred on April 18th there, which also accelerated the new policy of 30-day visa-free access to foreign tourists.
