《徐霞客游记·滇游日记二十八》
玉皇阁朝向南方，远远与石门相望，东边下临峡谷，峡壁逼窄，最初创建于朱、史二位道人，有个三贤和尚扩建了它，今天前楼的四面墙壁全部倒塌了，后阁的西角落即将倒下，岌岌可危的样子。
阁南向石门而遥，东临峡壁而逼，初创于朱、史二道人，有僧三贤扩而大之，今前楼之四壁俱颓，后阁之西角将仆，盖岌岌矣。
The Jade Emperor Pavilion faces south and overlooks the Stone Gate in the distance. On the east side, it overlooks the canyon. The canyon wall is narrow. It was originally built by two Taoist priests, Zhu and Shi, and a monk named Sanxian expanded it. Today, all the walls of the front building have collapsed, and the west corner of the back building is about to collapse, looking precarious.
