It's hard to get specific info on this as so many conflicting sources. But according to Timatic it should work in theory. Even this says that HKSAR passport not allowed, but if you have HRP below, no visa needed.
It may or may not help to also have a HKSAR passport as it is a Chinese passport, but who knows.

Recommended Health and Vaccination precautions:
Malaria prophylaxis. Malaria risk, including P. falciparum, exists in Yunnan and Hainan. P. falciparum resistance to chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine reported. Limited risk of P. vivax malaria exists in southern and some central provinces. There is no malaria risk in the urban areas. Recommended prevention in risk areas: B; in Hainan and Yunnan: C.
In Timatic, the recommended type of prevention is referred to as:
- Type A (very limited risk of malaria transmission) - Mosquito bite prevention only.
- Type B (risk of P. vivax malaria only) - Mosquito bite prevention plus chloroquine chemoprophylaxis.
- Type C (risk of P. falciparum malaria with chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine resistance) - Mosquito bite prevention plus atovaquone-proguanil or doxycyline or mefloquine chemoprophylaxis.
- Type D (risk of P. falciparum malaria plus reported multi-drug resistance) - Mosquito bite prevention plus plus atovaquone-proguanil or doxycyline or mefloquine chemoprophylaxis, depending on local drug restistance.
Chemoprophylaxis should be started preferably one week before departure and no later than the first day of exposure; it must be taken with unfailing regularity and continued for 4 weeks after the last exposure. No prophylactic regimen is 100% protective against infection, but even if it fails to prevent the disease it may, nevertheless, render the infection milder and less life threatening.
