《徐霞客游记·粤西游日记四》
开始时有条小路，一里半上到山顶，石骨嶙峋，不容落脚，而且石缝中稍微分开一些的地方，却有荆棘刺丛密蔽更难上登；然而石片的奇姿，花瓣状石峰的异态，远望过去则互相掩映，而且愈往前穿过去愈加层出不穷，令人心目都眩晕。
始有微路，里半至山顶，石骨峻嶒，不容着足，而石隙少开处，则棘刺丛翳愈难跻；然石片之奇，峰瓣之异，远望则掩映，而愈披愈出，令人心目俱眩。
At the beginning there was a small path, which led to the top of the mountain after one and a half miles. The rocks were jagged and sharp, leaving no place to set foot. The slightly wider cracks between the rocks were covered with dense thorns and brambles, making it even more difficult to climb. However, the strange shapes of the stone fragments and the unusual appearance of the petal-shaped peaks looked magnificent from a distance, and as we went further, more and more of them emerged, making us dizzy.
