Hello, You can fly and travel within Hainan under 30 days visa free access and not by applying for 30 days visa on arrival. Visa on arrival is not yet functional, so you will not be able to leave Hainan to visit other parts of the mainland China. Also, your flights to and from Hainan are not allowed to have any landing within the rest of mainland China. You can arrive and depart to/from Hainan from/to Hong Kong or any other third country, but not via the rest of mainland China, so take care of this detail. I can see that you are mentioning a flight from/to Guangzhou, but you cannot do that. You can arrive to Hainan form non - mainland China area, enjoy Hainan visa free and leave Hainan to non - mainland China area. Hope this is clear enough to you to organize your journey on time and not to lose any money.
