hainan - 30 day voaor 90 china voa? - clarification needed.

Question

I hold a US Passport, and I want to fly into Hainan, and from what I can gather I would entitled to a 30 day VOA..no problem right?However, it seems to suggest that when I arrive at immigration in Hainan, I should ask for a 90 day Chinese Mainland VOA instead if I want to visit family, business or work?Isn't this an easy way to dodge the paperwork requirements required for a tourist/multiple entry Visa, or have I missed something?*Footnote...I have a previous one year multiple entry Chinese entry permit I got travelling in China 5 years China, although I do have some overstays from a SEA country and may be blacklisted..would that present a problem for either the Hainan 30 day VOA,or the 90 day VOA??

Hi, Tman, if you will be received by a Hainan travel agency, you can apply for the 30 days free entry policy. Personally I think you can use the 30 days visa-free access to visit family, business or work. Just get your passport and travel itinerary to Hainan ready to apply for that. The previous overstay record may not affect that, I suppose.
