Port city in South China Sea, the important transportation hub in South China Sea and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, is significant for research on resource and environment monitoring of South China Sea. However, there is a lack of research about urban spatial structure of port city in South China Sea, especially the role of the port in urban spatial structure. Both of nighttime light data and POI (Point of Interest) data are widely used in research on urban spatial structure as data source, but few research focus on the spatial coupling between nighttime light data and POI data, and the integrated application of two data sources. As an example on the spatial coupling between nighttime light data and POI data, we take Sanya City, a typical representative port city in South China Sea, as study area, and use NPP-VIIRS nighttime light data and POI data of study area in 2016 as data source. In addition, we use overlay analysis to transform both data, the nighttime light data and the processed POI data by kernel density method, into regular grids. Then we use the method for mapping double factors to discuss the spatial coupling relationship between both data, and analyze the relationship between areas with different spatial couplings and urban spatial structures, especially the ports. The results show that: (1) The nighttime light data and POI data have strong spatial coupling relationship, which indicates a significant consistency. The global trend of spatial distribution between both data in Sanya City is pretty similar, and 85.6% of total area have same spatial coupling. (2) The regions where spatial coupling between nighttime light data and POI data differs have some significant spatial characteristics of urban structures, such as the large-scale homogeneous regions, rural-urban fringe, suburbs, and township. POI data has few distributions in economic development zone, new urban districts and so on, but much distribution in suburbs, townships and so on. By contrast, nighttime light data can characterize urban construction significantly, but can't characterize the township. (3) Sanya City, as an important port city in South China Sea, shows a strong relationship between its urban centers and ports. All of three urban centers revolve around three main ports and spread from it in a ring or line form. This study provides a new perspective of the research ont urban spatial structure of port cities in South China Sea.
