I picked up a nice bunch of Hong Kong used in China and Japan. I'll add a few of the nicer strikes, but I would like to see yours, too. Gibbons lists these with separate catalogue numbers, based on the usage and the underlying stamp.
A blue barred oval F1, Foochow:
Quite certain there should not be a straight edge, but I wasn't going to pass up the cancel.
A 10c red used in Shanghai:
A pair of 2c, one Shanghai, one Canton:
Another Shanghai, this time on a 5c:
Another Canton, on a 2c:
Hankow, on a 20c overprint:
Leaving China for Japan, a blue barred Y1 from Yokohama on a 2c:
Leaving Victoria for her son, Edward VII, a Wei Hai Wei cancel from Liu Kung Tau:
Last for now, and probably the least CV according to Gibbons, but one of my favorites, an Amoy strike on a KGV 30c:
