Part one:
Ed, you are definitely allowed to visit Hainan island using 30 day visa free access. Also, you are allowed to stay at the apartment offered by your friends. This is all fine and you should just keep in mind that you will have to supply the agency that you will use for 30 day visa free access the data about the address, the person that will be your host and also his/her phone number. Also, your host will accompany you to the local police station where you will perform a registration within 24 hours from your arrival in Haikou. Some of the local agencies with English speaking staff: Hainan Kangtai Travel, Hainan Haoyang International Travel Agent, China Travel International Sanyaco, Hainan Classic Holiday Travel Agent.
Here are the steps you will have to accomplish before your departure:
- 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, immediately after you leave Hainan island.
