Hainan arrival visa

I heard from my Korean friends that they just entered Hainan without any visa - they showed the flight ticket, and hotel vouchers, and they got the 'visa free entry' without any fee. Is this only for Koreans, or selected nationalities? I am USA citizen, and I wonder if the same thing applies to me as well.
Thanks.

Part one:

You can also use this option. It is called Hainan 30 day visa free access. Anyway, you should do some formalities. They are not problematic:

You should start a correspondence with one of the local Hainan travel agencies that have an English speaking staff. It is easy to find them, but here are several of them: Hainan Kangtai Travel, Hainan Haoyang International Travel Agent, China Travel International Sanyaco, Hainan Classic Holiday Travel Agent. During the correspondence, you are supposed to do the following steps:

- You are supposed to determine how many days you will spend in Hainan province
- You should also take care of your flight tickets and here one warning... You are not allowed to arrive to Hainan by taking a flight through some other mainland Chinese airport. The best option is Hong Kong, but keep in mind that this flight has to be nonstop and not again through some of mainland Chinese airports. Also, you are not allowed to leave Hainan on a flight that has a stop in mainland China.
- After you have determined the above mentioned, you will write down your short itinerary in English language that will have most of your details that you will do while in Hainan, but very shortly.
- You will contact a relevant agency that supports a correspondence in English language, one of the above mentioned.
- Keep in mind that during your correspondence you will be offered several services and you are supposed to accept one or more of them according to your preferences. The mentioned offers range from an airport transfer to multi day trips.

Part two:

As you can see, this procedure will ensure you that you will be allowed to board the plane, to enter Hainan and to enjoy your time there without the need to obtain a visa. This procedure could appear to be somewhat complicated, but in reality it is not because the agency is doing its part very fast and everything is done within 4 or 5 working days, the agency will send you an invitation that will undeniably allow you to enter Hainan visa free.
