Comparison of Hainan's principal parks and development zones against a specific business, covering the policy, sector, and practical differences between them.
What this covers
- Comparison of the candidate zones against the entity's actual activity and sector
- Review of sector-specific policies that attach to particular zones rather than to Hainan generally
- Assessment of registered-address and premises requirements against the substance position the entity needs to hold
- Practical review of the operating realities — talent availability, transport, supporting services — for each candidate
- Coordination with licensed leasing agents on premises, with commercial terms reviewed against the entity's own plan
- A written selection rationale, so the choice is on record for a later substance assessment

The zones differ, materiallySector orientation, attaching policies, and operating reality all vary — a good fit in one can be a poor fit in another.
For most purposes Hainan is one jurisdiction, but for site selection it is not. The principal zones — Yangpu Economic Development Zone, Haikou Jiangdong New Area, Sanya Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City, and the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone — differ in sector orientation, in the specific policies that attach to them, and in what it is actually like to operate there. A business that would be well placed in one can be poorly placed in another for reasons that have nothing to do with its own merits.
Sector orientation is the first filterZone-specific policies are not reachable by registering in Hainan generally.
Sector orientation is the first filter and the one most often skipped. Several zones carry policies specific to particular industries, and those are not available merely by registering in Hainan generally. Conversely, registering into a zone whose orientation the business does not match tends to mean the policies that made it attractive are not reachable in practice.
Address decisions interact with substanceAn arrangement that satisfies registration is not automatically one that supports a substance position.
The registered address decision then interacts directly with substance. An address arrangement that satisfies a registration requirement is not automatically an arrangement that supports a substantive-operation position, and the two are assessed by different people for different purposes. Choosing premises against the registration requirement alone is a common way to create a substance problem a year later.
The rationale recordedA selection made for stated reasons is far easier to defend later than one explained retrospectively.
We compare the candidates against the specific business, cover the practical operating realities alongside the policy ones, and record the rationale in writing — a selection made for stated reasons is materially easier to defend at a later assessment than one that has to be explained retrospectively. Zone policies are administered locally and change; we confirm current terms with the relevant administration for each engagement rather than working from published summaries.
