《徐霞客游记·滇游日记五》
从坡上向西北看去，则龙潭的山，从北面分出高耸的支脉，屏风般耸列着往西延伸，这是近处的山；向西南看去，则越州南面的山岭，隔着山形成远方屏障，是所说的西峰；而东峰之外青翠的山峰直直相对，则大龟山之峰，正好和这里南北相对。
从坡上西北望，则龙潭之山，自北分突，屏列而西，此近山也；西南望，则越州南岭，隔山遥障，所谓西峰也；而东峰之外。浮青直对，则大龟之峰，正与此南北相准焉。
Looking northwest from the slope, the Dragon Pool mountain branches off a peak from the north, standing like a screen stretching west, this is the near mountain; looking southwest, the mountain peaks south of Yuezhou form a distant screen, these are the so-called Western Peaks; while the opposite side of the Eastern Peaks, facing directly, is the Great Turtle Mountain, just matching the north-south here.
