I do have *A Gold. Anyone have experience with this?
if you do not have any status on Hainan Airline and if Hainan Airline does not offer lounge access for Y (I am not familiar with Hainan Airline but not many airline provide lounge access for Y), you will not have any lounge access. Your *A Gold gives you only lounge access if you depart on a *Alliance flight and Hainan is not part of the *Alliance
You would have to check on the Hainan Airline website what are there rules for lounge access and whether they grant for Y passengers, but so far for all Chinese airlines I flew (and that's quite a couple) nobody offered lounge access for Y
