We'll be flying Cathay Pacific and have booked tickets via the Cathay website using a single booking. We do have quite a long transit time so would like to go to the city without the check-in baggage.
As long as your departure time is less than 24 hours from your departure time where you start, measured in HK time, they will check it through. Example, I checked in at BKK for a 5 p.m. flight with an overnight in HK and a departure from HK at 5:30 p.m. the next day. Since 5 p.m. BKK was 6 p.m. in HKG they checked the bag through.
I am not sure with Vancouver being 15 hours behind HKG how long your connection is but under 9 hours you should be good.
