《徐霞客游记·滇游日记三十四》
望西面盘绕的壑谷在下方展开，水田广漠，有溪流流贯其中，壑谷西边又有高山耸峙在外面，山南又突起一座高山，横着连接到南边，相互连接处的中间，似乎有水从中流贯而去。
西望盘壑下开，水田漠漠，有溪流贯其中，壑西复有崇山外峙，其南又起一崇山，横接而南，交接之中，似有水中贯而去。
Looking at the winding ravine on the west side, the paddy fields were vast, the streams were running through it, and there were high mountains on the west side of the ravine. Another high mountain suddenly rose in the south, connecting to the south side. A stream seemed to run through the middle of the connecting point.
