Mount Paozu is the location at which Goku was raised by Grandpa Gohan, and is the location that the Dragon Ball story begins. It was inspired by the mountains that the mythical chinese deity Sun Wukong lived in, in the chinese novel Journey to the West. Mt. Paozu is mostly known for various monsters that populate the area such as dinosaurs. It is also the location of Goku's House.

When Goku gets older he still lives there with his wife Chi-Chi and his sons Gohan and Goten and later even has Gohan's family living there to.
