《徐霞客游记·江右游日记十三》
观址高高地背靠着香炉峰，北面朝着武功山，前方则是大溪从东面山坞中流来，向西经湘吉湾而流去，也是一个神仙居住的好地方。
其址高倚香炉，北向武功，前则大溪由东坞来，西向经湘吉湾而去，亦一玄都也。
The temple site is backed by Xianglu Peak, facing Wugong Mountain in the north, and in front of it, the big stream flows from the valley on the east side to the west through Xiangji Bay, which is also a good place for immortals to live.
