Thank you for the response,

And what if I only visit Hainan, would that be possible to do the visa on arrival of I fly into Sanya and only stay for 7 days?

If I have properly understood you, you will be in China for two consecutive week, i.e. for roughly 14 days in continuation. In that case, you should not rely on visa on arrival because such a visa even does not exist as far as Guangzhou is concerned. Also, it is always highly questionable whether the ground staff of the airport in your origin country will allow you to board the plane based on your intention to obtain a Hainan VOA upon your arrival in Hainan. Because of the mentioned, you are advised to apply and obtain a Chinese visa in advance. You will need just a single entry visa, although if your activities will bring you to China more often, you can ask, during your application even for a long term visa. In my opinion the best visa for your need would be F visa. In any case, you are advised against relying on visas on arrival.

In that case, I would suggest you to rely on 30 day visa free access and not on Hainan VOA. The reason is simple... When you use 30 day visa free access, you receive a written, let's say, invitation and you will be definitely allowed to board the plane and to enjoy your stay visa free in Hainan. In case of a VOA, you really never know whether the ground staff in your origin country will allow you to board the plane. I know that this option implies an interaction with the local travel agency, but trust me, this is by far more secure way to reach Hainan and to enjoy your visa free stay there. Please, keep in mind that you have to reach and depart Hainan via a third country and not through China!
