Goose Lake has Goose Lake Academy, which is located at the foot of Goose Lake Mountain, and in the second year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1175), Zhu Xi, Lü Zuqian, Lu Jiuling, and Lu Jiuyuan gathered here to give lectures. When It was rebuilt in the fourth year of Ming Jingtai (1453), it was called "Goose Lake Academy". In front of the academy, there is a stone mountain as a screen, covered with boulders on the top of the mountain, and the stone tips are towering, varied, and abrupt. The mountains on the left and right sides hug each other, and the heavy peaks are stacked and green. On the top of the hill on its left, there is a waterfall pouring down.
Leaning Tower of Goose Lake in 1930. The Leaning Pagoda of Goose Lake, also known as the Goose Lake Stupa, was originally built during the Qiande period of the Northern Song Dynasty (964-968), and was the abbot of the Goose Lake Temple, Ling Zhen Gongyi, the King of Yueyang of Chicheng Mountain, who asked for a relic of Buddha bones and returned to Goose Lake to build a wooden pagoda to pay tribute. In the first year of the Reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song (1017), the wooden pagoda was decadent, and the monk Shao'an of Renshouyuan Temple was rebuilt, changed the wooden pagoda to a brick and stone pagoda, and reburied the relic. According to the "Lead Book", wang qi of the Song Dynasty has a cloud in the "Record of the Temple of the Buddha at Goose Lake": "The relics buried by the king of Yueyang are only left." During the Ming Dynasty, Wang Zuochang and Fei Yuanlu's "Chronicle of the Peak of Goose Lake" written: "(Goose Lake Pagoda) servants do not collapse."
