Note: there must be more than 5 people in that travel group. They can stay in Hainan Province within 15 days. These 21 countries are South Korea, Japan, Russia, Malaysia, United States, Singapore, Germany, Thailand, Great Britain, Canada, France, Australia, Indonesia, Sweden, Italy, Holland, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Philippines and New Zealand. From January 4th, 2010, China has added Finland, Denmark, Norway, Ukraine and Kazakhstan to the list, which means people from the listed 26 countries need not apply visa when the travel to Hainan Province as a group. Meanwhile, people who come from Russia, South Korea and Germany with valid passports are allowed to stay in Hainan Province for 21 days now. However, they still need to be in a group. The limit on number of people in such a group decreases to 2 people.

[tcgurl=http://www.travelchinaguide.com/embassy/visa/service.htm]Visa upon arrival[/tcgurl] is available for Canadians in Hainan for 21 days, but only for tour groups more than 5 persons. If you want to travel alone, I think you may go to apply for tourism visas. It's quite easy.

You don't need a visa to {Hong Kong,http://www.travelchinaguide.com/cityguides/hongkong/} because Filipinos are exempt from a visa to Hong Kong for up to 14 days, however, you need a [tcgurl=http://www.travelchinaguide.com/embassy/visa.htm]China Travel Visa[/tcgurl] to Hainan, it is impossible for you to get visa on arrival in Hainan if you don't join a tour organized by a [tcgurl=http://www.travelchinaguide.com/]China Tour Agency[/tcgurl] registered in Hainan
