《徐霞客游记·粤西游日记十八》
到了这里，东面高耸的山峰稍微开阔了些，这才见到独秀峰在东北方，而东南山坞中又耸起一峰，正与独秀峰对峙，可高处低于独秀峰三分之一，宛如莲花的花蕊在中央托起，只是四面被群峰遮住，唯有在此处能够看到全貌罢了。又往北攀着悬崖而上，树根交缠在岩石间，是楠子又是绳子，脚踏手抓，无非是这样了。
至是东嶂稍开，始见独秀峰在东北，而东南坞中又起一峰，正与独秀对峙，而高杀其三之一，又北攀悬崖而上，木根交络石间，为梯为絙索，足蹑手缘，无非此矣。
When I arrived here, the towering mountains on the east were slightly open. Then I saw Duxiu Peak in the northeast. In a mountain nest in the southeast, there stood another peak confronting Duxiu Peak, which was one third of the height of Duxiu Peak. It looked like it was held up by lotus stamens in the center. However, this peak was hidden by mountains on all sides, and I could only see it clearly from this position. Then I climbed the cliff to the north, with the roots of trees intertwined with rocks. I could only climb up by stepping on the roots and holding the ropes.
