China → Cayman Islands
A Cayman Islands visitor visa is required before travel; actual admission and length of stay are decided by Customs and Border Control on arrival.
Mainland China passport holders are visa nationals unless an official waiver applies, such as holding a valid U.S., Canadian or U.K. visa and arriving directly from the country that issued that visa. Visitors must also hold valid travel documents, a return or onward ticket, and may need to show sufficient funds.

No. The official regulations list Chinese nationals holding Hong Kong SAR passports as not required to produce a visa on landing.
