Summary/Abstract: The paper is devoted to the analysis of the unpublished work by N.F. Katanov (1862–1922), who diarized his own travels to Minusinsk Region and Xinjiang in 1890. The materials cover the second season of his expedition, which was carried out under the supervision of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society in 1889–1892. The main purpose of N. Katanov’s travel was to investigate Turkic peoples. However, the surviving manuscripts can sometimes provide unique information about the everyday life of the Chinese and Dungan population, as well as public sentiments, socio-economic situation, and functioning of the administration in the western regions of the Qing Empire during the relatively poorly explored period of its history.
