《徐霞客游记·滇游日记十七》
从观瀑亭对面的崖上俯瞰瀑布从玉龙阁之下散落，悬空的银练坠在崖端，深一百多丈，直注峡谷底，峡谷狭窄，著沟深陷，俯视不到崖麓。
由观瀑亭对崖瞰瀑布从玉龙阁下隤降，坠崖悬练，深百余丈，直注峡底，峡逼箐深，俯视不能及其麓。
Looking down from the cliff opposite the waterfall-viewing pavilion, the waterfall scatters as it falls from under Yulong Pavilion. The silver ribbon hanging in the air falls into the cliff, more than a hundred zhang deep, and goes straight down into the bottom of the gorge; the gorge is narrow, the ditches are deep and steep, and one cannot see the foot of the cliff from above.
