《徐霞客游记·滇游日记三十二》
登高凭眺，南面是南甸，那以外有横亘的山排列在前方，是龙川江后的地界；近处嵌在山麓西边的是鬼甸，那以外有重重山峰拥立在西方，是古勇关前面往南下延的支脉；下方低伏往东延伸的，是笔峰，那以外有高大的山岭隆起在东方，是高黎贡山后面耸起的山脉；唯有北面是本山在后面成为屏障。
凭临而南为南甸，其外有横山前列，则龙川后之界也；近嵌麓西为鬼甸，其外有重峰西拥，则古勇前南下之支也；下伏而东度，为笔峰，其外有高岭东穹，则高黎贡后耸之脉也，惟北向则本山后屏焉。
Standing tall looking at the distance, there was Nandian to the south, and beyond it, there were mountains lying straight ahead, which was the border behind the Longchuan River; to the west near the foot of the mountain is Guidian, and beyond it were towering mountain peaks to the west, which was the branch of Guyong Pass extending south; and below was Bifeng, crouching low and extending toward the east, and beyond it were tall mountain ridges rising in the east, which was the mountain range rising behind Gaoligong Mountain; only to the north was the main mountain forming a barrier behind.
