西龙潭也位于西山向东突出的峰侧，汇集的水比较大，往东北流出的是这溪水，往中流的是鹤庆府城北大路口的水，往东南引出的为城中的水，其利在鹤庆府为第一。
西龙潭亦当西山东突之腋，汇水颇大，东北流者为此水，中为城北大路口水，东南引者为城中之水，其利为一郡之冠云。
Xilongtan is also located on the side of the peak that protrudes eastward from Xishan Mountain. The water collected there is relatively large. The water flowing northeast is the water of this stream, the water flowing into the middle is the water of the junction of the North Avenue of the Hekou Mansion, and the water diverted southeast is the water in the city, which is the most beneficial to Hekou Mansion.
