Plants vs. Zombies: Great Wall Edition
Plants vs. Zombies: Great Wall Edition (植物大战僵尸: 长城版; pinyin: zhíwù dàzhàn jiāngshī: chángchéng bǎn) was a Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies which it was released on May 18, 2012. It featured re-skinned zombies and Great Wall which fit the Great Wall theme, 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 has since been 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 ended. The remaining countries can now download the game for free from the App Store (does not work with newer iOS versions such as iOS 11).

Trivia
- Sounds in Android version of this game are lower quality compared to 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 at the time (10MB package).
- As a result, the only song that plays in Android version is Grasswalk.
- However, many Chinese players at that time argued that the hardware was totally capable of running the full game and complained about the compression.
- 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.
