1904 Mengtsz (28 Nov) to USA via French Indochina and Hong Kong. Picture postcard, f.w. Coiling Dragon 2c in pair, tied by Mengtsz bisected bilingual cds. Transit Hokow (4 Dec), Hong Kong (8 Dec). Arrived New York (25 Jan). Before 1905, outgoing mails from China via Hong Kong had to be franked with British HK stamps. However, as this card was sent via French Indochina, combination with Hong Kong stamps was not required. Illustration 8, p. 35 in "The Development of Yunnan Post System 1901-1949" by Mah Lang Moe. 1904.11.28 蒙自經印支及香港寄美國。圖片明信片，貼蟠龍2分雙連，銷蒙自半切漢英日戳。12.4經河口，12.8經香港。1.25抵紐約。在1905年前，經香港出口之中國郵件需混貼香港票。但由於此片經印支郵路，故毋需混貼。馬蘭茂著《雲南郵政史1901-1949》第35頁圖8原件。《中華郵聯會刊》第二十四期原件。

1906 Yunnanfu (Dec) to Japan. ICP 1st Print PSC, uprated by 1/2c, in total of 1-1/2c concessionary rate to Japan, tied by Yunnanfu lunar year cds. Transit Chungking (17 Jan), Shanghai (9 Feb). Arrived Japan (26 Feb). To avoid paying normal international postage, this mail took inland route instead of French Indochina. Hence, almost a month of transit time was spent. Scarce example of Japan concessionary rate from Yunnan. Illustration 16, p. 38 in "The Development of Yunnan Post System 1901-1949" by Mah Lang Moe. 1906.12 雲南府寄日本。大清第一版郵資片，加貼半分，合1分5厘寄日本特惠郵資，銷雲南府干支日戳。1.17經重慶，2.9經上海。2.26抵日本。為避免支付正常國際明信片郵資，此片走內陸長江郵路而非印支郵路，中轉時間近一個月。出自雲南之日本特惠郵資例子少見。馬蘭茂著《雲南郵政史1901-1949》第38頁圖16原件。《中華郵聯會刊》第二十四期原件。

Arrived Tokyo (27 Jan). Instead of inland route, this mail was sent in mail bag via Yunnan-Indochina Railway to Canton or Shanghai for further forwarding. Hence, international rate was not required. Usage of 3rd PSC is also scarce. Illustration 17, p. 39 in "The Development of Yunnan Post System 1901-1949" by Mah Lang Moe. 1908.1.6 蒙自寄日本。大清第三版郵資片，加貼半分，合1分5厘寄日本特惠郵資，銷蒙自半切漢英日戳。1.22經上海日局。1.27抵東京。此片並未採用內陸郵路，而是採用郵包經火車郵局轉廣州或上海，繼而出口，故亦毋需貼付國際明信片郵資。三次片實寄亦較罕。馬蘭茂著《雲南郵政史1901-1949》第39頁圖17原件。《中華郵聯會刊》第二十四期原件。

1902 Hokow (1 Nov) to France, f.w. Coiling Dragon x6, in total of 10c, tied by Hokow bisected bilingual cds. Transit Laokay (1 Nov). According to Lee Chung Ping, combination franking was still required by French Indochina Post after 1902, probably until Oct 1902. Early example without combination franking. 1902.11.1 河口寄法國，貼蟠龍票6枚，合1角國際信函郵資，銷河口半切漢英日戳。11.1經老街。按李頌平《客郵外史》記載，印支郵局與在華法國客郵局不同，在1902年後仍需混貼，按存世例子推斷應維持至同年十月。此為毋需混貼後之早期例子。
