Peach Tree Hill is a little hill that overlooks the Valley of Peace and where the Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom rests.
Background
When Master 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 planted the seed of a peach, his favorite tree, on the hill (thus earning its name). Oogway visited the peach tree upon the hill many times, and from there 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, the place he comes to meditate and to be one with the universe.[1]
History
In Kung Fu Panda
Po and Oogway talking on Peach Tree Hill
It was on this hill that Po sulked in the peach tree's peaches, feeling upset over the rejection and disapproval of Shifu and the Furious Five. But Oogway used a saying to encourage him to forget about the past, don't worry about the future, and to instead live for today.
Oogway ascending from the hill
Later, Oogway was seen practicing his tai chi on the hill when Shifu ran up the nearby stairs and informed him of Tai Lung's escape from prison. Oogway told Shifu that he must let go of the illusion of control and instead nurture and believe in Po's abilities in order for him to stop Tai Lung, demonstrating this metaphor by planting a peach seed. Oogway then handed him his staff and ascended into the Heavens in a cloud of peach blossoms.
At the end of movie, it is shown that a second peach tree, planted by Oogway and Shifu during their last conversation, has sprouted and started to grow on the hill.
In Kung Fu Panda World
Peach Tree Hill is a playable location in this virtual online game, referring to it instead as "Oogway's Peach Tree". In the world, it is shown that the seedling that started to grow in Kung Fu Panda is no longer on the hill, but in Town Center instead.[2]
