Hainan's 2026 Investment Opportunity List, the 336-project handbook released in April for the National Social Organizations Hainan Tour, gives the clearest project-level view yet of where the Free Trade Port is directing investment.

For anyone tracking opportunities in Hainan, a few things stand out without needing to read all 80 pages:

• 336 projects in five blocks. Tourism, services and consumption still dominate by count, 225 of the 336 sit in the two largest blocks. But the money is distributed very differently from the project count.

• RMB 427.38bn in stated project scale across the 314 projects that give a figure. The weight is uneven: medical consumption, logistics, digital trade and industrial platforms carry most of the business signal, not the tourism projects the island is known for.

• One project dominates. The Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone is listed at RMB 50bn, almost twice the entire future-industry block (all 31 biomanufacturing, hydrogen, brain-computer interface and embodied-intelligence projects combined total RMB 26.59bn).

• The island splits into sector lanes. Haikou for business services and digital trade; Danzhou/Yangpu for ports and industry; Wenchang for aerospace; Qionghai/Lecheng for medical; Sanya/Yazhou Bay for seed industry and deep-sea tech; western Hainan for industrial and energy projects.

One important caveat: the handbook is not a prospectus and not a binding policy document. It states that project information is for cooperation reference only. The RMB 427.38bn should be read as indicative project scale, not committed or approved capital.

It shows where Hainan wants operators, capital and sector specialists to engage, it does not confirm that any single project is investable on acceptable terms. Project stage, land status, ownership structure and foreign-investor eligibility are not provided. The list opens doors; it does not unlock them.

The full breakdown, block-by-block figures, the city-by-city investment map, and the representative projects that show the direction is here:

Discussion welcome

Thank you very much for your quick answer 🙂 

can you provide me your e-mail address or if you don’t mind can you add me on WeChat so I can explain you with more detail the situation?

Thank you very much for the help.

Thank you for your message, and no problem. 

The first important point is that China normally does not treat this as something you can do casually while visiting. If you are charging clients in Sanya for massage, wellness, guasha, cupping or similar services, this may be treated as work and as a commercial activity. That means the key questions are not only “can I rent a small studio?”, but also:

1. What legal business structure would be used?
2. What visa / work authorisation would you personally need?
3. What licences or registrations would the studio need?
4. Would the services be classified as wellness / relaxation, beauty, massage, or medical / TCM treatment?
5. Would your friends also be legally allowed to provide services there?
6. How would tax, invoices and payments be handled?

In practical terms, if you simply come to Sanya for three months at a time and provide paid treatments from a rented room without a proper business setup and work status, that could create immigration, tax and licensing problems.

There may be a few possible routes, but they need to be checked carefully:

One route could be to cooperate with an existing licensed spa, wellness centre, hotel or clinic in Sanya. That may be simpler than opening your own place, but the partner would still need to check whether they can legally host you and whether your visa/work status allows you to provide services.

Another route could be to set up a proper business entity in Hainan, but that is a bigger step. It may involve company registration, a registered business address, tax registration, a bank account, possible venue approvals, and then checking whether the company can support your work permit/residence permit.

A third point is the wording of the service. “Massage / wellness / relaxation” and “Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment” may be treated differently. If you describe the service as medical treatment or TCM treatment, the requirements may be stricter than for general wellness or relaxation services.

For your friends, the same issue applies. If they are providing paid services in the studio, they would also need to be legally allowed to work in China. It would not be safe to assume that they can simply help when you are in Sanya.

My suggestion is that before you rent any premises or start advertising, you should prepare a short description of exactly what you want to do, including:

• whether clients would pay you directly;
• whether the service is medical, therapeutic, beauty, relaxation or wellness;
• whether you want your own studio or cooperation with an existing business;
• whether you want to stay only three months at a time or live in China longer term;
• whether your friends are Chinese nationals, foreign residents, or visitors;
• whether you already have recognised qualifications or licences.

Once those details are clear, the next step would be to check the business registration, licensing, visa and tax position with someone who handles this locally in Hainan.

You can send me more details by email, and I can give you an initial view and, if needed, pass the case to a specialist who can look at the business setup and compliance side more carefully.

I hope this helps,

Patrick

Mission Hills Group, headquartered in Hong Kong, is one of Asia's foremost developers of leisure and lifestyle destinations. Founded by Dr. Chu Shu-hao and chaired by Dr. David Chu, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the group has spent more than three decades transforming underutilised land into internationally recognised resort communities.

The group's flagship property, Mission Hills Shenzhen-Dongguan, occupies nearly 20 square kilometres on the border of two of China's most dynamic cities. Home to multiple championship golf courses drawing on five continental design traditions, it has grown into one of the world's most comprehensive leisure destinations, hosting over 100 international tournaments and major events in golf, tennis, snooker and cycling, alongside high-profile gatherings including APEC preparatory meetings and the inaugural Straits Exchange Foundation sports exchange. The resort holds China's highest tourism designation (5A) and has twice been awarded the Golf Environment Organization's top prize — sometimes called the "Green Oscar" — as well as the International Association of Golf Tour Operators' Global Best Golf Tourism Resort title.

In 2007, Mission Hills crossed the Qiongzhou Strait and committed more than ¥40 billion to the Yangshan lava field southwest of Haikou — a landscape shaped by volcanic eruptions ten thousand years ago. What was once bare rock is now the Mission Hills Haikou Resort, built around four world-record-scale attractions: the world's largest volcanic rock public golf course, the world's largest volcanic hot spring, the world's largest single-building photography studio, and the world's largest NBA Basketball Park flagship venue.

Anchoring the resort's cultural offer is the Mission Hills Fengxiaogang Movie Town, a film-themed tourism destination developed in partnership with Huayi Brothers and renowned Chinese director Feng Xiaogang. The resort also hosts the China Football (Southern) Training Base — formally designated by the General Administration of Sport and the Chinese Football Association — alongside two full K-12 schools, a resort township, and a full suite of hospitality, healthcare, retail and conference facilities.

Mission Hills has hosted some of golf's most significant moments in China: the 1995 World Cup of Golf (China's first), Tiger Woods' inaugural China visit in 2001, multiple subsequent World Cup editions, and the 2012 WGC-HSBC Champions. In 2025, the Haikou resort hosted a DP World Tour event — the Hainan Golf Elite Championship — marking the group's continued role in bringing elite international competition to the island.

Beyond sport, Mission Hills has contributed nearly ¥600 million to social, cultural and charitable causes across its 30-plus years of operation, supporting over 200 initiatives in sport, education and community welfare.
