Do you need to book Leitai Han Culture Museum / Leitai Park in advance?
No — Leitai Han Culture Museum / Leitai Park in Wuwei does not need an advance reservation. 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
A gate ticket; bring your passport as ID for entry as at most Wuwei sights. The park includes the Leitai Han Tombs and the Leitai Taoist temple. No advance booking is normally needed, though real-name entry with your passport may be requested at the gate.
What else to know
We link no official booking page here — this is a municipal park-and-museum that sells at the gate, with no clean standalone official ticketing domain we could verify. This is the find-spot of the Bronze Galloping Horse (马踏飞燕 / the Flying Horse of Gansu), unearthed from the Eastern Han tomb here in 1969 and now China's national tourism emblem — but be clear-eyed: the original bronze is in the Gansu Provincial Museum in Lanzhou, and what you see at Leitai is the tomb itself plus replicas and a horse-themed park. Long quoted around ¥45; reconfirm at the gate.
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.
