Hong Kong became a British Colony after the First Opium War (1839-1842). It remained under British Control until 1997 before being handed over to China. I am able to show stamps when the island was British.

This is an Asian bird I hadn't heard of before, I found one on You Tube which I thought I would include.
For other Chinese stamps you need to fly over to Viridian's Sunday-stamps-158.
