Plants vs. Zombies: Great Wall Edition (植物大战僵尸: 长城版; pinyin: zhíwù dàzhàn jiāngshī: chángchéng bǎn) was a heavily modified Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies, released on May 18, 2012. It featured re-skinned zombies and The Great Wall as a new area, and some minor gameplay changes.

On iOS, it was known as Plants vs. Zombies: China Edition (植物大战僵尸中国版; pinyin: zhíwù dàzhàn jiāngshī zhōngguó bǎn). On iPad it was instead Plants vs. Zombies: China Edition HD (植物大战僵尸 HD版 or 植物大戰僵屍 HD版; pinyin: zhí wù dà zhàn jiāng shī HD bǎn).

In the 1.12 update on Android, Journey to the West episodes were added into the game, which were later added into Plants vs. Zombies: Endless Edition. In the 2.1 update on Android, the game was renamed to Plants vs. Zombies: Journey To The West Edition (植物大战僵尸西游版; pinyin: Zhíwù dàzhàn jiāngshī xīyóu bǎn). The Journey to the West episodes could now be played for free in this game.

• Note that Hero Plants and some of the newer plants from Plants vs. Zombies: Endless Edition, along with the underwater chapters, were exclusive to Plants vs. Zombies: Endless Edition.

It was removed from the Google Play Store in all countries and the App Store of most countries including China due to the game's official support ending due to issues relating stability and compatibility in newer versions, alongside Plants vs. Zombies (Android) and Plants vs. Zombies (iOS). The remaining countries may be able to download the game for free from the App Store (the game does not work on newer versions of iOS, such as iOS 11).

Trivia

• Sounds in Android version of this game are lower quality compared to the original. This is because of heavy sound compression, done by developers due to most Chinese hardware being inferior to worldwide hardware at that time. Alongside this, 48% of China also used 2G networks (with a 10MB package limit).
  • As a result, the only song that plays in Android version is Grasswalk.
    • Some versions do include all the game music.
  • However, many Chinese players at that time argued that the hardware was fully capable of running the complete game and complained about the compression.
    • An HD version for Android was supposed to release, but it never came out.
  • The iOS version, however, doesn't suffer from these problems.
• This is the second Chinese Plants vs. Zombies game where there is more than one Survival: Endless mode, the first one being Plants vs. Zombies: Endless Edition.
• For only one update, the game "officially" barely supported French, Italian, German, and Spanish.
  • It was removed in version 1.9.7, even though the app store still said the language was supported.
• The second wave of the zombies re-skins on the Android version were originally intented to be used for Plants vs. Zombies: Endless Edition. Strangely, they were not used for unknown reasons.
