Hi Julie, we had a 3 week trip to China and HK last Sept.
We visited all the cities you mention and as we started in Beijing, I took a little local yuan with me and then simply withdrew locally at ATMs as and when required. (As you are starting in HK, you'll need HK$).
Can't say I've heard about US$ being accepted and we were never asked if we wanted to pay in US$.
If you've a current account, it's far easier to use ATMs - they are easy to use and have an english option.
We also used our debit card widely in HK to pay in restaurants and bars.

Any more Q's just shout.
