Goose Mountain was historically known as E Mountain. Located slightly east of the central part of Liunan District, it lies about 1 kilometer north of the Liujiang River. Stretching from north to south over 700 meters in length, it stands 303 meters above sea level and resembles a goose feeding. It is the second highest peak in the urban area of Liuzhou. Liu Zongyuan wrote in his *Record of Scenic Spots in and Around Liuzhou Accessible for Visits*: "Goose Mountain lies in the wild with no foothills, and Goose Spring originates from there." By the Tang Dynasty, water was already flowing down the mountain, but the waterfall scenery had not yet formed. During the Song Dynasty, Liu Hongdao wrote in his poem *Viewing Goose Mountain Waterfall*: "Gazing at the cascading waterfall, I lie by the stream listening to the zither’s pure tones." By then, the waterfall scene had already taken shape. “Goose Mountain Waterfall” became one of the ancient Eight Scenic Spots of Liuzhou. Later, the Goose Mountain waterfall disappeared, and the exact time when the waterfall dried up remains untraceable.
