Do you need to book Fuling / Dongling Park in advance?
No — Fuling / Dongling Park in Shenyang does not need an advance reservation. Ticketing: Buy at the gate, real-name with your passport; daytime hours, tomb closes mid-to-late afternoon. Buy at the gate or walk in, depending on whether the site charges at all. That makes it one of the sights you can leave to the day, which is worth knowing when the rest of a China itinerary has to be booked a week out.

How a foreign visitor actually books it
Walk-up gate ticket, real-name, so bring your passport. No advance booking in normal periods. It's further out and quieter than Beiling, so check the closing time before you set off and don't leave it too late in the day.
What else to know
We link no official booking page here — a municipal park-and-tomb sold at the gate, no official online channel I could verify for foreigners. The tomb of Nurhaci, founder of the Qing dynasty, and his empress, on a forested hillside east of the city (opened as a park in 1929) — the other half of Shenyang's UNESCO tomb listing. Around ¥30 peak / ¥20 off-season; over-60s and other groups discounted, confirm at the gate. More of a wooded climb up a tomb 'spirit way' than Beiling's flat park; pick this one if you want the quieter, more atmospheric of the two and don't mind the extra travel.
What to still watch for
No reservation does not mean no friction. Carry your passport — it is the ID checked wherever one is checked, and a photo of it is not accepted. Where there is a paid gate, expect the counter to want a domestic payment app rather than a card, which is worth setting up before you land. And anyone approaching you outside with tickets is selling something you do not need here — the sights that genuinely sell out are the ones with a reservation rule, listed in Reservation Radar.
