Walking in the Snow to Seek Spring (踏雪寻春; pinyin: Tà xuě xún chūn) is a new Secret Realm added to the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 as part of the v3.3.3 Arbor Day update, and the 25th world overall. It is themed after Springening and Arbor Day, and is built similarly to the Auspicious Snow Welcomes Spring secret realm, by the system of the gameplay, the elite zombies, as well as the free trial of testing out P-Mech Assembler - Flamestar for the second round. It also features a brand new lawn.
The player will be fighting zombies from different worlds and eras whilst Memory Lane conditions and gimmicks are present in the levels, while every 4 levels it will be a battle of one of the Elite zombies from the Frostbite Caves Resurgence Secret Realm, a different one each level. At last, the player will be fighting the Glacial Nian Beast Zombie in the final level, a tougher and evolved variant of Nian Beast Zombie. The player will have to use the same sets of plants they used in at the first level of the 4 levels sets, while also being able to collect sun in his bank which will save up in the next 3 levels.
There's also a new difficulty system present in this realm, which increases every 4 levels. Each difficulty turns the levels more chaotic and more violent, bringing more challenge to the player.

Difficulty I 难度1 |

After clearing a level, the player will be prompted to pick a boost from the 3 boosts he will be offered, similarly to Endless Challenge, which will be added to his collection until he clears a part of the secret realm (there is Normal and Hard modes). These boosts can either buff plants during the level, provide you with benefits during the level, or allow you to unlock P-Mech Assembler - Flamestar trial to experience it in the levels. In order to unlock it, the player will have to collect a Bamboo Trooper puzzle boost, a Homing Thistle puzzle boost, and a Banksia Boxer puzzle boost. If the player wants to reset his boosts in the collection, resetting progress will be required which will erase the progress from each level the player had, beginning from the 1st level again, similarly to Card Clash. It should be noted that this feature can not be exploited to re-collect rewards over and over, as the rewards are one-time rewards you can collect. The player in addition will have a limited amount of plants to use, similarly to Endless Challenge.
The Secret Realm lasted for 40 days, from March 12th 16:00 2024 to April 21st 16:00 2024 (GMT+8).
Dialogue[]
(Penny appears)
Penny: Spring is finally here, some of my parts are almost moldy, let's go out and busk in the sun.
(Crazy Dave appears)
Crazy Dave: I love spring so much! But although it's obviously spring, why is my lawn freezing?
Penny: My radar shows that the zombies are still out there preparing to launch a new all-out attack.
Crazy Dave: Don't even think about ruining my spring!
(Crazy Dave and Penny leave)

Trivia[]
- Despite the lawn featuring a Springening basic zombie stuck in the snow wall on the left side of the lawn, there's no Springening zombies at all in this realm.
- The lawn featured in this realm is a combination of the Springening lawn without the easter eggs on the ground, and the Frostbite Caves Piñata Party teaser lawn, as well as the snowman from the Feastivus lawn.
- It is one of the two realms that lasted for a pretty long period of time compared to the rest, the other being Parkour Party.
