《徐霞客游记·粤西游日记十八》
往东南驶下河滩走五里，山势渐渐开阔低伏，又行十里，稍稍折回东北，又向东十里，到三江口。
东南下滩五里，山渐开伏，又十里，稍折而东北，又东十里，三江口。
Go southeast and drive down the river beach for five miles. The mountain gradually becomes more open and lower. After walking for another ten miles, turn back to the northeast slightly, and then go east for another ten miles to reach Sanjiangkou.
