《徐霞客游记·粤西游日记二十二》
我把行李及两个病人送入去南宁的船二我进了城，在街中吃了饭，于是沿城墙紧靠江流往东走，二里，抵达下渡。渡到南岸，是去宝华山的路，于是登山坡入山。
横州有三渡：极西者在州门外，为上渡；极东者在下流东转处北极庙前，为下渡；而中渡在其中。渡南岸，遂登山坡而入。
I sent my luggage and two patients onto a ship bound for Nanning. I entered the city to eat in the streets and followed the city wall to the east along the river. After 2 miles, I reached Xiaodu. After crossing the south bank, I took the path to Baohua Mountain, I ascended the mountain.
