《徐霞客游记·粤西游日记三十六》
绝顶高悬在云天之中，江流如像衣带横在下方，府城如棋盘一样在它前方铺开，东面是青鸟山，西面是天门拜相山，都是自北延向南，分在左右拥围着，好似张开的两只翅膀。
绝顶中悬霄汉，江流如带横于下，郡城如棋局布其前，东界则青鸟山，西界则天门拜相山，俱自北而南，分拥左右，若张两翼。
The peak hangs high in the clouds, the river like a sash hanging below, the government city spread out in front of it like a chessboard, in the east it is Qingniao Mountain, in the west it is Tianmen Baixiang Mountain, all extending from north to south, divided into left and right embracing it, like two wings spread open.
