Can I use Alipay in Sanya Duty Free Shop?

Alipay cannot be used in duty-free shops in Sanya. If you don't bring cash, it is most convenient to swipe your card. Remember to bring your ID card, flight number and SMS when shopping. If you leave Hainan Island by plane, you can only go to the duty-free shop.

Sanya Duty Free Shop is a world-class and Asia-leading duty-free shop built by China Duty Free (Group) Co., Ltd., which was put into operation on September 1 2009. It is divided into two floors with a business area of 7000 square meters.

Among them, GUCCI, Tiffany, Armani, Montblanc and other brands set up duty-free brands in China for the first time.

Sanya Duty Free Shop is located in Yuya Avenue, Dadonghai Tourist Area, Sanya City, only 20 minutes' drive from the airport and Yalong Bay, with convenient transportation.

Definition of duty-free policy for outlying islands: Duty-free policy for outlying islands refers to a preferential tax policy for passengers who fly out of the island (excluding departure) to purchase import duty-free goods with a limited number of times, quantity and variety, pay in duty-free shops (that is, duty-free shops for outlying islands) and pick up goods in airport isolation areas.

The prerequisite for passengers to enjoy the tax exemption policy for outlying islands is "outlying islands", and residents on the island also need to enjoy preferential policies by virtue of their air tickets for outlying islands. If the flight is delayed or cancelled, the duty-free goods will be kept by the duty-free shops (including the pick-up points) and will be picked up after the actual flight leaves the island and enters the quarantine area again.

Lv Yong, deputy director of the Provincial Department of Finance, said that passengers can only enjoy the preferential tax-free policy for outlying islands by air tickets, but consumers who leave the island by other means of transportation such as cars, trains and ships cannot enjoy this preferential policy. As for whether the vehicle restrictions on outlying islands will be broken, the relevant departments will make adjustments according to the trial situation of the tax exemption policy on outlying islands.
