When Oogway arrived in China after having traveled around the world, he stood on Peach Tree Hill when he came to realize that he had found the place he would call home for the rest of his life, and in commemoration, he planted the seed of a peach, his favorite tree, on the hill. Oogway visited the peach tree upon the hill many times, and from there, he could look down on his beloved Valley of Peace, the place he called home and had sworn to protect and be a refuge for the soft and weak from the hard and strong. It is considered a sacred place to him, where he comes to meditate and to be one with the universe.
