From what i read on another site Albert Kahn hired photographer Stéphane Passet to take photos for him.
Looking at the national geographic magazine it states “In the land of Kublai Kahn Sixteen illustrations in full color, autochromes. Stephen Passett". There is no associated article with the photos.
