Lanshan Industrial Park is quite big and I suppose you will go to the location of its Administrative Committee. First, take bus no. 36 or K36 to Linyi Traditional Chinese Medical Hospital, then change to K2 to Hongru Cultural Industrial Park, which is nor far from the committee. Duration is about 2 hours and ticket fare is CNY4.
