《徐霞客游记·粤西游日记二十四》
南面有驮朴村，转个弯登到山后，听说可以攀登上去。又向北一里，在东岸临江处，光彩夺目遮蔽天空的山是银山，劈开的悬崖切断半座山，青黄赤白，点缀着五彩斑烂的色彩，与天光波影，互相飞动，阳朔的画山仍只是像狗一样罢了。
又北一里，东岸临江，焕然障空者为银山，劈崖截山之半，青黄赤白，斑烂缀色，与天光水影，互相飞动，阳朔画山犹为类大者耳。
On the south bank was Duopo Village. After making a turn and climbing behind the mountain, it was said to be possible to climb up. Another one li north, on the east bank facing the river, was Yinshan, a resplendent mountain that seemed to obstruct the sky. A sheer cliff split the mountain in half, revealing bands of blue, yellow, red and white, and adorned with colourful patterns that danced with the light and waves. Yangshuo’s painted hills looked like mere dogs by comparison.
