The following is a record in the Lingui County Annals during the Qing Dynasty:
Solitary Beauty Peak towers in the centre of the provincial circumvallation of Guilin. All hills near and far surround the peak like past feudal rulers worshipping their king, conferring an imperial demeanor on Solitary Beauty Peak. From its solitary peak of over 50 zhang, one can overlook all official buildings and houses inside and outside the city, row upon row. Cloud and brume rise from its base and wreathe around the hill. The stars are near and can be touched in front of one's breast. Hence, the verse 'the solitary peak is distinguished from other numerous hills.'
