《徐霞客游记·粤西游日记四》
顺着石阶上登约有三丈，洞口被房屋遮住又黑又暗；忽然转向西北，洞中豁然开阔起来，顶一弯隆下面平坦，洞中排列着很多石笋和悬垂的石柱，高爽清朗，通风透亮，这是上洞，这就是七星岩。
历级而上约三丈，洞口为庐掩黑暗，忽转而西北，豁然中开，上穹下平，中多列笋悬柱，此上洞也，是为七星岩。
Following the stone steps up for about three feet, the entrance to the cave is hidden by houses and is dark; it suddenly turns to the northwest, the cave suddenly opens up, the top is a round hump and the bottom is flat, and there are many stone stalagmites and hanging stone pillars in the cave. It is tall and refreshing, well-ventilated and brightly lit. This is the upper cave, which is Qixingyan.
