Do you need to book Mount Zhe / Zheshan Park + Guangji Temple in advance?
No — Mount Zhe / Zheshan Park + Guangji Temple in Wuhu 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
Free walk-in city hill park — no ticket and no reservation, just turn up. It's central, in Jinghu District, with hiking paths and panoramic views over Wuhu; the Guangji Temple (广济寺) with its Song-dynasty Zhe Pagoda sits on the slope and is also free. Carry your passport out of habit, but nothing here is gated behind a booking app.
What else to know
We link no official booking page here — it's a free, walk-in public park with no ticketing channel to book. Open roughly 06:00–18:00 for the hill park; busiest and prettiest in spring when the flowers are out. The adjoining Guangji Temple is a Tang-founded Buddhist temple, free, open around 08:00–17:00. Trails can get slippery after summer rain. A pleasant hour or two and the city's main free 'sight' — don't pay any third party claiming to 'reserve' it.
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.
